Five Israelis were killed and three others were wounded in a car crash in Morocco on Friday morning.

According to Hebrew media reports, the accident, which took place near the city of Ouarzazate, happened amid heavy fog in the area, with no indications of foul play.

The victims were members of the Breslov Hasidic community who were part of a group in Morocco to visit the graves of Jewish leaders and other pilgrimage sites, according to Ynet.

The rest of the group, which was traveling in a number of cars, noticed the missing members several hours after arriving at their destination. They alerted local authorities, who located the overturned car several hours later, Ynet reported.

At least some of the dead were residents of Safed, in northern Israel. Safed Mayor Yossi Kakon confirmed that “a number of Safed residents were involved” in the accident, but asked not to identify them yet, as not all family members had been notified.

The Foreign Ministry confirmed that it was aware of the incident and said Israeli representatives in Rabat were attending to the matter.

The Israel-based ZAKA organization, which attends to the bodies of accident and terror attack victims in accordance with Jewish tradition, said it was in touch with the local Jewish community to arrange for the bodies to be transported to Casablanca, and from there returned to Israel for burial.
