Zionist regime’s F-16 warplane crashes into sea

A Zionist regime’s F-16 warplane has crashed into the Mediterranean Sea following an engine malfunction.

A Zionist regime military spokesman said on Sunday: “An F-16 combat aircraft crashed earlier today in the sea after the engine malfunctioned.”
The US-made F-16, which is Zionist regime’s latest and most advanced warplane, crashed approximately 50 kilometers west of the Gaza Strip during a training flight.
The Zionist regime official said that the plane’s two crew members, the pilot and the navigator, parachuted into the sea and were rescued.
The official added that the Israeli regime military subsequently grounded “all its F-15 and F-16 combat aircraft until circumstances of the incident are reviewed.”
In October 2012, the Zionist regime’s military grounded its entire fleet of aircraft for a day in the wake of a number of near-miss incidents during training flights.
In 2010, a Zionist regime F-16I crashed, killing the two pilots.
