Videos on social media allowed us to pinpoint A truck plows into people at a bus stop in central Israel and tell us more about the aftermath and reaction.

The incident occurred on Sderot Aharon Yashiv road, located on the border of Glilot and Ramat Hasharon districts in northern Tel Aviv.

From videos shot in an open area across the road, we can see armed, uniformed men surrounding the open driver’s door of a truck next to a green bus.

From this point we can make out the location, the placement of evergreens and palm trees, the corrugated fencing and roofing behind the bus stop, as well as identifiable Israeli license plates, emergency vehicles and police uniforms.

As he heads north on the road, handheld and dashcam footage show the same scene. Along with people wearing Israeli army uniforms, we can also see the same trees, emergency vehicles, truck and passenger bus.

Upon closer inspection, we see at least six people pinned to the pavement under the truck. Most look middle-aged and wear civilian clothes. Most are talking or moving, but at least one appears limp and is being pulled by people at the scene.
