A terrorist from the Jenin area plowed into a bus stop at the Karkur Junction in Pardes Hanna-Karkur. Fourteen individuals were evacuated to Hillel Yafe Medical Center for treatment, including a 17-year-old female who is in critical with head and limb injuries, sedated and ventilated, and two seriously injured victims: A 60-year-old male with head and limb injuries, sedated and ventilated, and a 19-year-old female, conscious with head injuries. A further 18-year-old female with limb injuries in moderate condition, fully conscious. Five others sustained minor injuries and five suffered shock. The terrorist was identified as Jamil Ziyad, from the village of Silat al-Harithiya in northern Samaria, who was in Israel illegally and was married to an Israeli Arab. At first, it was reported that the terrorist was an Israeli Arab. The police stated that he was neutralized after he exited the vehicle with a screwdriver. After ramming into the pedestrians the terrorist continued driving some four kilometers before being stopped by police and eliminated at the entrance to Gan Shmuel. Police Spokesman Asi Aharoni stated: "According to initial details the individual who was arrested by officers is the one who carried out the attack. The terrorist rammed several individuals at a bus stop and then stabbed people, and collided with a police car." MDA Senior EMT Moshe Cohen, who arrived in the first ambulance, recounted: "I arrived quickly at the scene and saw chaos. About ten injured people, both young and old, were lying in a ditch on the side of the road. Two of them were unconscious, suffering from head and limb injuries. Large MDA forces arrived rapidly. The vehicle responsible for the attack was stopped further down the road by security forces. We performed an initial triage of the wounded and evacuated them to the hospital." MDA paramedic Avi Cohen said: “We arrived at a complex scene with a lot of commotion following a vehicle that hit several pedestrians. There were eight injured people at the scene—two in serious condition, three in moderate condition, and three with minor injuries. They were near a bus station at the Karkur junction in the westbound lane when the vehicle struck them, and when we arrived, they were lying on the ground. We immediately began providing medical treatment to all the injured, including stopping bleeding and bandaging wounds. We loaded them into ambulances and mobile intensive care units and quickly evacuated them to Hillel Yafe Medical Center in Hadera.” MDA EMT Orly Keinan recounted: “It was a severe scene. When we arrived with large forces, we saw the injured, some of whom were lying on a dirt mound behind the bus station. They told us they were hit by a vehicle that went onto the sidewalk and fled. We provided them with life-saving medical treatment, including stopping bleeding, bandaging, and immobilizing injuries. We evacuated them to Hillel Yafe Medical Center, with two in serious condition, three in moderate condition, and the rest with minor injuries.”
