At least 64 people have been killed in a collision involving two high-speed trains in Spain, prompting an outpouring of condolences as emergency workers continue searching the wreckage for possible additional victims.
The accident occurred on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in the Toledo municipality, marking the country’s second deadly rail disaster this year.
Rescue teams have been working at the scene to locate victims and assess the aftermath of the collision, as authorities face the challenge of determining the full scale of the tragedy.
Israel’s Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa’ar, expressed sympathy for the victims and their families in a Spanish-language post on X.
“We continue to follow with deep concern the news about the tragic railway accident,” Sa’ar said, conveying Israel’s “most sincere condolences to the victims and their families in such difficult moments.”
He added that Israel shared in the grief of the Spanish people over the disaster.
The latest collision comes approximately nine months after another deadly accident involving high-speed trains operated by the same companies on the same line, which claimed 46 lives.
The circumstances surrounding Wednesday’s crash were not detailed in the report, while rescue operations continued amid fears that the death toll could rise.
