Police said the truck driver was shot and “neutralised” by armed civilians in the area.
They are investigating a possible motive but suspect it was a terror attack, The Times of Israel reports.
The attack happened outside an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) base in Glilot.
A bus had reportedly stopped at the station outside the base to drop off passengers when the truck rammed into the stop, and those waiting there.
Magen David Adom – Israel’s emergency service – has taken 35 victims to hospital.
The figure includes six in serious condition, five in moderate condition and 20 who are lightly hurt, MDA has said.
They said in a statement: “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.”
Many of those injured were OAPs who had just evacuated a bus to visit a nearby museum, according to local media reports.
