Two injured in light aircraft crash at Ein Vered airfield

Two individuals sustained injuries when a light aircraft crashed at the Ein Vered airfield, triggering a fire at the site. Magen David Adom paramedics promptly transported the aircraft's two occupants to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba for treatment.

The injured man, in his 50s, suffered moderate injuries to his head and limbs. The second occupant sustained lighter injuries. Firefighters responded swiftly in reinforced teams to control the blaze and prevent its spread. The aircraft reportedly crashed in an area containing solar panels, which contributed to the fire.

Paramedics found both occupants conscious upon arrival. Dr. Omri Gorga, an MDA physician at the scene, described the situation: "We received a report of a light aircraft that had crashed in an open area. When we arrived, we saw flames and a large amount of smoke coming from the aircraft. Nearby were two occupants who had managed to exit the plane. They were fully conscious. We immediately began treating and examining them, provided medical care, and then evacuated them in MDA ambulances to the hospital."
