Dozens of passengers were trapped for over three hours in cable car cabins suspended high above Haifa on Tuesday after the system unexpectedly stopped for an unknown reason. Fire and rescue services, in cooperation with the Haifa Municipality, launched a complex rescue operation involving specialized high-altitude rescue teams. Firefighters from the Lahav unit, trained for extreme situations, worked to extract passengers one by one from the cabins dangling from the cables. At the time of the latest update, rescue forces were working to free the last approximately 30 passengers, out of dozens who were stranded. Ironically, the Haifa fire station had conducted a similar high-altitude rescue drill simulating this exact scenario just days before the incident. The cause of the malfunction remains unclear as rescue efforts continue to ensure all passengers are safely brought down.
