A light aircraft crashed in an open area near the entrance to the town of Kafr Qara in Wadi Ara, resulting in one fatality and one severe injury. Emergency responders arriving at the scene confirmed the death of one individual inside the aircraft and transported the injured person to Rambam Hospital in Haifa. The injured man is reported to be in serious condition, under anesthesia and on a ventilator.
Footage from the crash site shows thick smoke, a scorched field, and fires near structures. The Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service received the initial report at 9:12 AM, with the Hof District fire and rescue services alerted a minute later. Firefighters from Hadera responded, engaging in both rescue operations and extinguishing the post-crash blaze.
The aircraft is preliminarily assessed as civilian, possibly an agricultural plane used for crop dusting. Following the incident, police temporarily closed Highway 65 near Kafr Qara, diverting traffic before eventually reopening the road. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
