Israeli soldiers accidentally fire on Israeli crop-duster flying over Golan

Israeli troops open fire on a crop-dusting plane flying over the Golan Heights, mistaking it for an infiltrating aircraft, the army says.

“Once they realized it was a civilian Israeli aircraft, they stopped firing,” the military says in a statement.

“This was a serious incident that is being investigated. Lessons will be learned.”

No one is hurt in the incident.
