Traffic Terror~This Time in Tel Aviv

Truck Came to a Stop When it Hit a Bus By a School
This morning an Arab truck driver, 22-year-old Aslam Ibrahim Isa, from Kfar Kassem, ran amok in Tel Aviv. One man was killed and seventeen taken to hospital.

According to YNet: 
The rampage began at the Mesubim junction along two kilometers of the Bar-Lev Road. Vehicles were smashed, traffic lights knocked over and security rails destroyed. Several buses were apparently hit. The truck eventually came to a halt near a school while many students and parents were present. 

A total of fifteen cars and a bus were hit. One witness recalled:
I saw the truck hurling cars like a game of bowling. When he saw the bus he crossed the junction and hit it and they both came under the bridge. Luckily, the bus was empty. A young man came off the truck, came towards me and yelled what sounded like 'Allahu Akbar.' He knocked over my phone. One girl who approached him was hurt, he hit her in the head with a traffic light. There are traffic lights scattered all over the road.

The police are "investigating". Oh, and his mother said this was not a terror attack--he was tired.
