What happened
On an unspecified date, an aircraft was taken without authorization while stationary at Tel Aviv-Sde Dov Airport. The pilot, acting alone, took control of the plane in an attempt to defect from his home country.
During the flight path over Syrian territory, the aircraft encountered resistance from Syrian fighter jets. Following being intercepted and forced out of Syrian airspace, the pilot chose to end his life. The aircraft subsequently crashed into the western region of the Golan Heights. The incident resulted in one fatality, as the pilot was killed upon impact.
Findings
Investigations into the event concluded that the crash was the direct result of the pilot's intentional suicide following the interception of his flight by military aircraft.
