Two IAF pilots killed in Apache helicopter crash in Upper Galilee
Israel lost another Apache Longbow on Monday when one crash-landed and burst into flames north of Safed near the Lebanese border.

Eye witnesses describe seeing the aircraft spinning 20 to 30 times before crashing.

Conflicting media reports say that the helicopter could either have been shot down by the Hezbullah or Israel's own "Destroyer" multiple launch rocket system.
