An Israeli Pilot, Lt. Assaf Ramon died in the crash near the Israeli community of P'nei Chever in the southern Hebron Hills. During a routine flight as part of the advanced pilot training course the plane had crashed and they had no idea how the wreckage had happened. Assaf Ramon was the son of Israel's first astronaut, Illan Ramon, that had in the crash of the US space shuttle Colombia in 2003.

We do and always will show honor to them and pay them respect.
