Dozens of passengers were stranded in the air for over an hour on Haifa's cable car system on Thursday evening due to a technical malfunction. The incident occurred between the Lev HaMifratz and Dori stations, leaving passengers suspended between the two points. One passenger reported via a local WhatsApp group that they were stuck without updates. The Haifa Municipality confirmed that the issue has been resolved and all passengers have been safely evacuated. The malfunction was reportedly caused by a stuck wheel on one of the cable car cabins. Emergency services, including firefighters, a special unit called 'Lahav', Magen David Adom paramedics, and the municipal police unit 'Oz', established an incident command post to manage the rescue operation. The company operating the cable car worked to repair the fault and prepare the system for resumption of service.
