ALBAWABA - Rami Natour, the Palestinian truck driver who was killed after ramming into a bus stop near Glilot, near Tel Aviv, has once again made headlines after his brother said that Natour might've had a heart attack when the incident in question occurred. 

Natour resulted in dozens of injuries and one death after ramming his truck into the bus stop on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024. Six were severely injured and seven were moderately wounded.

According to the Jerusalem Post newspaper, sources revealed that the attacker was an Israeli-Arab from Qalansawe in central Israel. It added that settlers who were at the scene shot at the driver and "thwarted him".

His brother, Mahmoud Nasrallah said that it "wasn't an attack" but a "heart attack or something" pointing out the truck driver's medical history and past health concerns, as reported by Al Arabiya. 

He added that his brother is a hard-working man who works to provide a good life for his wife and five children. Moreover, he further said that Natour has never harmed anyone in his life. 

According to The Cradle, the Israeli government created a law on Feb. 15, 2023, that grants Tel Aviv the ability to revoke Palestinians residing in Israel of their residency or citizenship if they do "acts of terror" which will result in them being deported to the West Bank and Gaza.
