A light aircraft crashed at the Ein Vered airfield, sparking a fire at the scene, Magen David Adom Spokespersons Unit said Friday.
Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated the aircraft’s two occupants to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba.
A man in his 50s suffered moderate injuries to his head and limbs, and the second occupant was lightly injured.
Firefighters were deployed in reinforced teams to bring the blaze under control and prevent it from spreading.
The aircraft reportedly crashed in an area with solar panels, causing the fire.
MDA found both occupants conscious, evacuated them.
“We received a report of a light aircraft that had crashed in an open area,” said Dr. Omri Gorga, an MDA physician who was dispatched to the scene.
“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.”
