The Israeli Army Radio stated that a car rammed into a group of people at Karkur intersection, injuring fourteen individuals, including one in critical condition and two with serious injuries.
Other reports from Israeli Channel 12 mentioned that eight people were injured, three seriously, and added that the police “neutralized” the assailant without revealing his identity. Israeli Channel 13 confirmed that two of the wounded were police officers.
