One person was killed and a second was moderately injured after the light aircraft they were flying crashed in northern Israel, medics say.
The plane crashed in an open area near Kfar Glikson, Magen David Adom says, and emergency responders recovered two men from inside the aircraft, which was on fire, using hydraulic tools.
One of the men, said by medics to be in his 60s, was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash, while a man in his 50s who was moderately injured received on-site emergency medical treatment.
The Israel Fire and Rescue Services says that its crews extinguished the fire, and adds that it is looking into the cause of the accident.
