One person injured in the attack north of Tel Aviv, where a truck crashed into a bus stop near the IDF base in Glilot, died at Ichilov Hospital. This tragic event has raised concerns and condemnations across the country. Meanwhile, a preliminary report by the Lebanese Ministry of Health said that an Israeli air strike near Sidon left two people dead and eleven wounded.
