Israeli authorities commenced analysis of the "black box" data from a truck involved in a "suspected vehicular attack" near the entrance of the Glilot military base in Ramat Hasharon, north of Tel Aviv, known for housing intelligence headquarters including Mossad and Unit 8200 of the military intelligence.
The incident, which officials have not confirmed as deliberate or accidental, resulted in the death of a man in his seventies and injuries to 36 others, most of whom are retired bankers. Of the injured, six are in serious condition, five are moderately wounded, while others sustained minor injuries. The group was about to board a bus for a group trip.
The truck driver was identified as Rami Nasrallah, a Palestinian from the city of Qalansawe in central Israel, who holds Israeli citizenship and is in his forties. According to Arabic media translations, he had recently undergone heart surgery. His body was sent for autopsy at the national forensic center in Tel Aviv to determine if a medical emergency, such as a heart attack, played a role in the incident. This followed his death by an Israeli passerby who shot him at the scene.
Mourning his brother, Mahmoud Nasrallah insisted the incident was not an attack, citing Rami’s heart problems and his recent open-heart surgery. He described his brother as a simple man, focused on earning a living for his family, and stated, "He has no connection to any such acts."
Mahmoud emphasized Rami’s normal life, asserting that his brother was likely struck by a heart attack or some medical issue, given his health history. He expressed the family's desire for Rami’s body to be returned, insisting on his brother's integrity.
In the aftermath, authorities revealed that Rami had nearly 70 prior traffic violations and are considering all motives, dismissing initial claims from witnesses about the driver wielding a knife. The identity of the victim killed in the event has not yet been disclosed.
