Dozens of passengers have been stranded for over two hours in Haifa's cable car system due to a technical malfunction.

While the lower section of the cable car system has been reactivated, the upper section remains shut down, leaving passengers suspended in the air. Fire and rescue services, including the "Lehava" unit, are preparing for a complex rescue operation. The passengers have been stuck at a significant height for an extended period. Authorities are assessing the situation and preparing for the possibility of a complicated extraction if the upper section cannot be restarted.
