Nine Israeli soldiers were injured in a car-ramming attack at a bus station in Kfar Yona, central Israel, on Thursday, according to the country’s emergency medical services.

Six of the victims sustained moderate injuries, while three others were lightly wounded. All were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that the driver fled the scene immediately after the incident. Security forces launched a manhunt in the area, and initial police assessments suggest the ramming was intentional.
