A fatal car accident occurred on Route 465 in the Benjamin region of the West Bank, between the settlements of Neve Tzuf and Ofarim, near the village of Kafr 'Abbud. A man in his 30s was killed, and two others sustained moderate and light injuries. The crash involved a truck and two other vehicles, with one car becoming lodged beneath the truck's trailer.
Firefighters and volunteers from the regional Benjamin station were dispatched to the scene and undertook complex rescue operations to extract the driver trapped inside the vehicle. The rescue efforts, which required specialized equipment, were prolonged due to the severity of the crash and the trapped individual's position. Medical personnel pronounced the driver dead at the scene after the extraction was completed.
Moni Ben Zion, the Rishaf who commanded the rescue operations, described the scene as "difficult," noting that the car had entered "under the trailer of the truck." He added that the rescue was complicated and time-consuming due to the nature of the accident and the victim's location.
MDA paramedics Nati Rot, Yosef Nahon, and Shlomo Levi reported treating the deceased man, who was unconscious with severe injuries. They also provided medical attention to two other individuals, one moderately injured and one lightly injured, who were evacuated by the Red Crescent to a hospital.
