A light aircraft crashed in an open area near the entrance to the village of Kafr Qara in Wadi Ara, adjacent to Highway 65, on Friday morning, subsequently catching fire. According to reports from the scene, one person is trapped inside the aircraft, apparently unconscious, while another individual sustained moderate injuries and is being treated by Magen David Adom (MDA) teams. Fire and rescue forces are working to extract the trapped individual and extinguish the blaze that erupted at the crash site. Footage from the scene shows thick smoke billowing from the area and a large swathe of burned vegetation. Initial reports of the crash were received by MDA at 9:12 AM, with firefighters arriving shortly after. The aircraft is preliminarily assessed to be a civilian light aircraft, possibly a crop duster. Police have closed Highway 65 in the vicinity of Kafr Qara to traffic, redirecting drivers to alternative routes. The circumstances surrounding the crash are currently unknown.
