Police have yet to officially determine if the incident, in which an Arab-Israeli truck driver from Qalansawe plowed into a crowd at a bus stop, wounding more than 30 people, was a terror attack.

The driver’s family claims that he had no intentions of carrying out an attack, and asked for an autopsy to be undertaken to determine whether a medical incident caused the crash.
