“Multiple individuals have been injured in a suspected attack by a mysterious driver. Initial reports suggest that the driver intentionally targeted civilians waiting at a bus stop,” stated authorities. “The perpetrator has been neutralized, and the investigation is ongoing.” The police commissioner is currently conducting an on-site assessment in response to the incident.
Images from the scene show the body of a man lying on the street beside the vehicle involved in the attack, with Israeli security forces present in the cordoned-off area. A funeral was held for Shiri Bibas and her sons after their remains were returned by Hamas.
Israeli security forces are inspecting the vehicle that allegedly rammed into pedestrians at the Karkur Junction near Haifa in northern Israel on February 27, 2025. The area is heavily guarded as authorities search for any other potential attackers.
Tensions have been escalating in the West Bank recently, with Israel deploying tanks to the town of Jenin for the first time in two decades. In response to the rising threat of vehicular terrorism, House Republicans are introducing a new bill. House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green and Rep. Carlos Gimenez have proposed legislation that would require the Department of Homeland Security to produce an annual report on emerging threats and countermeasures related to vehicular terrorism.
The bill addresses the growing trend of individuals being radicalized to commit violence against Americans, often through ISIS propaganda, with vehicular-ramming attacks becoming a significant method. Police are investigating a suspected car ramming attack at the Karkur Junction in Pardes Hanna-Karkur, Israel on February 27, 2025.
