Dozens injured and One dead after truck hits Israel bus stop

A man has died and at least 30 more have been injured after a truck hit a bus stop near an Israeli military base north of Tel Aviv, in what authorities are investigating as a suspected terror attack.
"A truck hit dozens of people who had disembarked at a bus stop. Eight of the wounded were trapped under the truck and others were lying and walking near it,” a medic for Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said.
Many of the injured were reportedly pensioners on a day trip to a nearby museum.
The driver of the truck, named Rami Natur, an Arab Israeli from the town of Qalansawe in central Israel, was shot dead by a civilian at the scene.
"Around me, everyone was injured and bleeding, and others were in shock. It looked like an accident at first, but then shots were fired at the terrorist."
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is responsible for the police, called for the family of the suspected attacker to be deported from Israel.
Israel is already fighting its enemies on multiple fronts in Gaza and Lebanon.
But this attack raises a different question: how to keep its people safe from attackers already inside Israel, who use vehicles as weapons.
