A light aircraft crashed in an open area near the entrance to the village of Kafr Qara in Wadi Ara on Friday morning, resulting in one fatality and one serious injury. The aircraft caught fire after the crash, prompting the deployment of firefighting and rescue teams. The victim who was trapped inside the plane was pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim, a 34-year-old man, was evacuated by MDA (Magen David Adom) teams to Rambam Hospital, where he was sedated and placed on a respirator.
Thick smoke billowed from the crash site, with extensive vegetation burned and fires near structures. Footage from the scene showed firefighting vehicles and an MDA ambulance alongside emergency teams. The initial report of the crash was received by MDA at 9:12 AM. Firefighters from the Hadera station were dispatched and worked to rescue the trapped individual and extinguish the blaze.
Authorities temporarily closed Highway 65 in the area, redirecting traffic to alternative routes before reopening it later. The aircraft is preliminarily believed to be a civilian light aircraft, possibly a crop duster. The circumstances surrounding the crash are currently under investigation.
