The spokesman said search-and-rescue forces were called to the scene. Witnesses told Israeli media that they found parts of the plane dispersed across 200 metres, with two bodies lying nearby.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known. Israeli Air Force Commander Major General Udi Nahushtan has appointed a committee to investigate the crash, the spokesman said.
