A light aircraft, believed to be a crop duster, crashed in an open area near the Arab Israeli village of Kfar Kara on Friday morning. Fire and rescue services reported that the aircraft caught fire immediately after the crash, prompting a large-scale emergency response. Magen David Adom (MDA) received the initial report at 9:12 AM. Paramedics treated a 34-year-old man who was conscious and in moderate condition, suffering from burns on his limbs. He was transported by a mobile intensive care unit to Rambam Hospital. Firefighters rescued a second individual, unconscious, who was later pronounced dead at the scene; he was identified as a 70-year-old man. Firefighters battled the blaze, which had spread from the crashed aircraft to a nearby natural grove on a slope, threatening to reach residential areas. The fire services divided their efforts between extinguishing the aircraft and containing the grove fire. The crash led to the closure of Highway 65 in the area, with police redirecting traffic to alternative routes.
