Emerging story
Following a truck-ramming incident in Israel, social media users widely shared a video clip alleging to show the moment the truck rammed with a bus, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries.
An X user shared the footage, claiming, “Confirmed reports from the occ territories, 17+ killed & 50+ injured (mostly critical) Zionist soldiers from the 8200 spy unit in #Tel_Aviv. Many stayed stuck under the truck for a long time.”
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the viral footage and found the claim to be misleading.
After conducting a thorough reverse image search, Misbar’s team found the video making the rounds to be unrelated to the recent truck-ramming operation in Israel.
2017 Video Shows Al-Quds Ramming Operation
Contrary to social media users' viral claim, the video is neither recent nor related to the latest truck-ramming operation in Israel.
Misbar’s investigative team traced the original footage back to January 8, 2017, depicting Al-Quds ramming operation.
Ma'an News Agency uploaded the video to Facebook with a translated caption reading, “Video of the moment of the car-ramming attack in Jabal Mukaber, south of occupied Jerusalem. Martyrdom of the perpetrator - 4 dead and 15 soldiers injured.”
Sky News also shared scenes from the same operation on its website on January 8, 2017, originally published by Israel’s Channel 2.
2017 Al-Quds Ramming Operation
On January 8, 2017, it was reported that a truck-ramming operation by a Palestinian driver targeting Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem resulted in 4 fatalities and over 15 injuries.
The incident occurred at the Armon HaNetziv (East Talpiot) promenade in East al-Quds when a large truck veered off-road, hitting a group of soldiers who had just gotten off a bus.
Israeli police spokesperson Luba Simari confirmed the deaths of four soldiers and injuries to 18 others.
Following the incident, Israeli media reported that the truck driver had been shot dead. Palestinian sources later identified him as Fadi Qanbar, a former prisoner and resident of Jerusalem’s Old City.
One Dead, Dozens Injured in Truck-Ramming Operation in Central Israel
A truck-ramming at a crowded bus stop near the Glilot military base, north of Tel Aviv, left one dead and dozens injured, according to Israel’s emergency services.
The incident occurred as a bus was dropping off passengers, with a preliminary police investigation indicating that the truck struck both the bus and those nearby.
Eyewitnesses reportedly shot at the driver, who was subsequently killed, according to Israeli police.
A 72-year-old man later succumbed to his injuries at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, as confirmed by the hospital to NBC News.
Hamas claimed responsibility, describing the act as a “natural response” to Israel's actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.
