MDA paramedics Michelle Rashkovski and Shneor Tsik recounted what they saw upon arrival at the scene. “We saw a vehicle that had hit pedestrians stopped at a bus stop. We immediately called additional forces to the scene. Near the bus stop, two men about 20 years old were lying, one of them conscious and the other unconscious, and both suffering from multiple life-threatening wounds. We immediately provided them life-saving medical treatment.”
United Hatzalah paramedic Aryeh Mendelson said, “According to passers-by, the vehicle hit two pedestrians and collided with a bus stop.”

Border police commander, IDF Maj.-Gen. Itzhak Brik arrived at the scene of the attack, where he received an overview from the reserve soldiers and praised their work, the police spokesperson stated on Sunday.
“Professional work, truly worthy of praise. This neutralization was very important. We are in a very challenging time with quite a few alerts.”
“You did a professional and serious job; you have full backing for this activity. Congratulations to you. You have proven time and time again that the reserve system of the police and border guards is serious and high-quality, which strengthens the police,” Brik said.
