An Israeli F-16 fighter jet has crashed in the West Bank, killing the pilot. | |
The pilot, Asaf Ramon, was the son of Israel's only astronaut Ilan Ramon, who died in the explosion of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003. | |
Sunday's crash took place in a hilly area south of the city of Hebron, military officials said. | |
The jet was on a routine training flight, they added. There is no word on why it went down. Search and rescue crews are at the scene. |
