1 victim dies in suspected terrorist truck-ramming incident in Tel Aviv

One of the victims has died in what Israeli police said they suspect was a terrorist truck-ramming incident at a Tel Aviv bus stop on Sunday that injured more than 30 people, according to hospital officials.

The victim, whose name was not immediately released, died after being taken to Tel Aviv's Ichilov Medical Center.

A preliminary investigation, according to police, indicates that the truck rammed into a bus that was stopped and letting passengers off near the Glilot military base.

The driver of the truck involved in the incident was "neutralized" by armed bystanders, police added.

"The Tel Aviv Ichilov Medical Center regrettably informs that the condition of one of the injured from the run-over incident in Glilot has deteriorated and in the last few minutes the medical staff had to pronounce him dead," the hospital said in a statement.

The Associated Press obtained satellite imagery from Planet Lab showing Iran's Parchin military base on Sept. 9, 2024, and after Friday's strike. Israel also hit Khojir, a sprawling missile production site near Tehran.

In assessments of the damage based on the satellite imagery, David Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector, and Decker Eveleth, an associate research analyst for the Washington think tank CNA, told Reuters that the strike hit a building at Parchin that was part of Iran's defunct nuclear weapons development program, and another building used to mix solid fuel for missiles.

Eveleth told Reuters that the facility targeted at Khojir was a missile production plant which Reuters reported had recently undergone a massive expansion.

Eveleth said the Israeli strike may have "significantly hampered Iran's ability to mass produce missiles."

The Health Ministry also said in a statement that it had no information on the fate of around 30 medical personnel at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, which has been under intense Israeli attack for several weeks.

The ministry said Israel is responsible for their lives. The Kamal Adwan Hospital is now functioning with only three doctors taking care of around 300 patients, the ministry said.

Doctors Without Borders issued a statement on Saturday expressing concern as to the safety of one of its surgeons -- Dr. Mohammed Obeid -- working at Kamal Adwan Hospital. The nongovernmental organization, which goes by MSF, an abbreviation of its French name, said it lost contact with Obeid on Oct. 25.

"The hospital and its surroundings have been subjected to intense military operations by Israeli forces and recent media reports indicate several medical staff detained on the morning of 26 Oct.," MSF said in a statement.
