Dozens of people are reported to be injured after a truck hit a bus stop near an Israeli military base in what is suspected to be a deliberate attack.

At least six people are in a serious condition and others remain trapped under wreckage at the scene in Glilot, just north of Tel Aviv.

Police say the circumstances of the incident are still under investigation.

But local reports say armed civilians in the area shot and "neutralised" the driver of the truck after he deliberately rammed into people.

Israeli television channels showed police cordoning off the area as emergency personnel helped the injured and a helicopter hovered above.

"At 10:08 AM, a report was received in MDA's 101 Emergency Call Center in the Yarkon Region of a truck hitting a bus stop on Aharon Yariv Boulevard in Ramat Hasharon.

"MDA EMTs and Paramedics are currently providing medical treatment on site to dozens of casualties," Israel’s emergency services said in a statement.

A spokesman for Israel’s ambulance service quoted by Israeli newspaper Haaretz said many of the injured were elderly citizens who had disembarked from a bus ahead of a visit to the nearby Israel Defense Forces (IDF) base in Glilot.
