Israeli police say the crash of a truck into a bus station in central Israel is being treated as a “terrorist incident”.

At least 35 people were injured, six seriously, after a truck plowed into a bus station north of Tel Aviv this morning, according to emergency services (more in post 9.34).

Asi Aharoni, a spokesman for the Israeli police, said: “We are treating this as a terrorist incident.

“The identity of the terrorist is still unknown, he is apparently an Israeli-Arab. At the moment, together with the Shin Bet (Israeli security agency), we are trying to find out the identity and get absolute certainty.”

The incident took place near the Glilot military base and the headquarters of Israel’s Mossad spy agency.
