A small crop-dusting plane crashed Friday morning in an open area near the village of Kafr Qara in the Wadi Ara region. One person was found dead at the scene, and another sustained moderate injuries. Initial investigations suggest the aircraft crashed in an open field before catching fire. Emergency services arriving at the scene found the helicopter wreckage engulfed in flames. Firefighters worked to extinguish the aircraft fire, which spread to a nearby natural grove on a slope and began advancing towards residential areas. Forces were divided into multiple tasks, with one team working around the helicopter and others focused on containing the grove fire and preventing its spread to homes. The injured individual, a 34-year-old man suffering from burns, received life-saving medical treatment and was transported to Rambam Hospital. Following the incident, Route 65 was briefly closed to traffic in the area but has since reopened. MDA (Magen David Adom) and firefighting crews were present at the crash site.
