What happened

Dozens of passengers were trapped for up to two hours suspended over Haifa when the Rakhbalit cable car system automatically ground to a halt following a technical failure.

How coverage differs

Initial reporting from outlets such as Mignews and Newsru blamed a power outage for the stoppage, whereas subsequent detailed coverage by Israel Hayom, Ynet, and Cursorinfo attributed the freeze to an emergency brake triggered by a broken wheel pulley on a cabin. Several sources (such as Ynet, Arutz 7, and Now14) emphasized that the breakdown occurred just two days after routine maintenance work, while N12 focused on passenger anxiety and medical treatment.
