Let $f:Xrightarrow Y $ be a fibration (with fiber $F$) between simply connected spaces such that
$H_ast(f):H_ast(X,mathbbZ)rightarrow H_ast(Y,mathbbZ)$ is an isomorphism for $astleq n$



Is it true that the reduced homology of the fiber is $tildeH_ast(F,mathbbZ)=0$ for $astleq n$?

As usual, there's no loss of generality in assuming that $f$ is the inclusion of a subspace $Xsubset Y$, replacing $Y$ with the homotopy equivalent mapping cylinder of $f$ if necessary. By your assumptions and the five lemma, $H_*(Y,X)=0$ for $*leq n$, and the pair $(Y,X)$ is simply connected, therefore by the Hurewicz theorems $pi_*(Y,X)=0$ for $*leq n$. If $F$ denotes the homotopy fiber of $f$, then $pi_*(Y,X)=pi_*-1(F)$ in all dimensions, hence the previous computation ensures that $F$ is $(n-1)$-connected, so $H_*(F)=0$ for $*leq n-1$. As @abx shows in the comment above, in general $H_n(F)$ won't be trivial. The higher-dimensional Hopf fibrations provide further counterexamples, where even the fiber is simply connected.
