Netanyahu: 'The Tragedy is a Great One'

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made his first public reference Tuesday evening to the helicopter crash in Romania that killed six IAF airmen and a Romanian observer, in the course of an aerial exercise.
"The Nation of Israel is gravely worried over its finest sons who were on an important mission on behalf of the IDF and the State,” he said. “We do not have all of the details but at this moment we can say that the tragedy is a great one.”
"This is a difficult day for the entire House of Israel,” he said. “To day we ache and ask 'how have heroes fallen?'” [Samuel 2, 1:25].

The IDF Spokesman announced Tuesday that seven bodies have been found in the location of the helicopter crash in Romania. An official Romanian prosecutor signed “confirmed death” certificates for the bodies.
The dead are six Israel Air Force crewmen and one Romanian observer who took part in the exercise.
