Eight Israelis Hurt in Car Ramming at Bus Stop
Friday, 25 July 2025 | The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Thursday afternoon that eight soldiers were wounded in a car-ramming attack earlier in the day at the Beit Lid/Hasharon Junction, east of Netanya.
According to the military, two of the soldiers were moderately wounded and six other soldiers were lightly injured. They were evacuated to a hospital and their families were notified.
Reports in the morning indicated that a vehicle struck pedestrians waiting at a bus stop on Route 57 at the entrance to the city of Kfar Yona, located between Netanya and Tulkarem in Samaria.
Emergency responders treated the injured at the scene and evacuated two young adults—a man and a woman, both around 20 years old—to Laniado Sanz Medical Center in Netanya in moderate condition with chest and limb injuries. Three others were in good-to-moderate condition with head and limb injuries, and three people were in mild condition. In addition to Laniado, victims were transported to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba and Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.
The driver fled the scene immediately after the crash, leading Israeli security forces to shut down several Judea and Samaria crossings. The vehicle involved in the incident is believed to have been located in the Beit Lid area.
The Israel Police on Thursday night called on the public to help locate Arkan Khaled, 27, from the central Arab Israeli city of Tayibe, “who is wanted for questioning in connection with the incident.”
The statement urged anyone who knows the suspected terrorist’s whereabouts to immediately report to the 100 emergency hotline.
