KFAR YONA: The Israeli military said eight soldiers were wounded on Thursday when a driver deliberately rammed his car into a bus stop in what police called a `terror attack`.

The army said two soldiers were `moderately injured` and six `lightly injured` in the attack at the Beit Lid junction near Kfar Yona in central Israel.

`The soldiers were evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment and their families have been notified,` it said in a statement.

A teenager died in March this year when police said a car driven by a Palestinian man deliberately ploughed into civilians at a bus stop in northern Israel.

One witness to Thursday`s ramming said the driver cut her off the road near Kfar Yona, then `turned his wheel to the right, full gas, as fast as he could, and hit as many people as he could`.

Kineret Hanuka, 45, said: `I saw only blood and heard them screaming: `It hurts!`... It was so hard for me to see this.` Israel`s Magen David Adom first responders said they received a report at 9:25am (0625 GMT) that a vehicle had crashed into a bus stop near Kfar Yona.-AFP
