Helicopter Carrying President Herzog Makes Emergency Landing After Bird Strike
An Israeli Air Force “Yasur” helicopter carrying President Isaac Herzog from the memorial ceremony for the fallen of Operation Protective Edge at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem to a mourning visit in central Israel made an emergency landing on Thursday after hitting a bird in midair.
The helicopter landed safely at Palmachim Air Base, with emergency teams at the IAF base standing by. No one was injured in the incident.
The article identifies the aircraft as an Israeli Air Force helicopter and says the flight was part of Herzog’s schedule on the day of the memorial ceremony. It does not say whether the president continued to his next destination after the landing.
