Haifa’s celebrated cable cars were stopped on Monday evening due to a power outage, leaving roughly 30 passengers stranded on the cable cars until firefighters and rescue teams arrived at the scene to rescue them. Undone by stormy winter weather, cable car service is expected to be halted until Tuesday morning as staff work to restore the power current. No injuries were reported as a result of the malfunction.

"Everything was coordinated with the Magen David Adom and the fire brigade," said the cable car operator regarding the incident. "The light and intercom in the carriages were working and they (were able to) contact with the passengers."
