IDF says helicopter made emergency landing, didn’t crash

The Israel Defense Forces says the helicopter that landed in the southern West Bank did not crash but rather made an emergency landing due to a minor technical malfunction.

The helicopter is a Yasur heavy transport model, part of a fleet of aircraft that returned to service some two weeks ago after they were grounded when one of them crash-landed in southern Israel late last year.

“Technical crews are addressing the malfunction at the scene,” the military says.
