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 $astleq n$?

Besides the proof below, this (the vanishing of the reduced homology of fiber below dimension n) also admits an easy proof using the Serre spectral sequence.

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.
