MDA medic Shraga Rosenthal said: "When we arrived at the scene, the sight was shocking.
We saw a car near the bus station, after it hit pedestrians who were waiting at the station.
We saw six victims lying next to each other, including two children about 6 years old who were unconscious with severe multi-system trauma.
A 27-year-old man and a 30-year-old man were unconscious and two other victims were fully conscious with injuries to their limbs.
We gave them primary medical care and performed CPR on both children.
This is a very difficult event."
