Human error caused plane crash that killed top IDF officer

A Defense Ministry investigator finds that the light plane crash that killed Brigadier General Munir Amar in northern Israel last month was caused by human error.

The findings of the ministry’s chief accident investigator, Yitzhak Raz, show the crash occurred after Amar momentarily lost control of the aircraft he was flying solo, Channel 2 reports.

The investigation also shows no indication of any technical malfunctions, nor did Amar make any distress calls during the flight.
