Description
An Israel Air and Space Force UH-60A Black Hawk crashed while landing at Rafah during a night medical-evacuation mission. The Israeli service said two personnel were killed and seven others were injured. Its investigation found that poor visibility and challenging conditions led to an incorrect assessment of height during the final approach, and found no enemy fire or technical failure.
