that's why it wasn't filled.

One should not rule out a Hamas action. A lone fighter with a shoulder-missile can easily shoot it down...

My condolences to the families!

as Europe is so against the Jews reading this paper today

Whatever

Romania is in no way hostile to israel, no reason for no military ties with israel-romania. They even helped with the searching. God bless those soldiers souls, a horrible way to die so young.

they did so in 2007, if memory serves. i, for one, hope it won't be the last of it. my country of birth can provide various types of terrain for joint exercises, idf and romanian army. besides, israel needs every friend just as we need israel. last but not least, my heart goes out to the families of the fallen soldiers, israelis and romanian together. a tragedy is a tragedy, no matter where.

#4, hamas in romania? it's more likely to see nasrallah winning the nobel price for peace, than hamas acting in romania. terrorism is so strange to the soul of this nation, that terrorists would stick out among romanians, like a sore thumb. #6 updates from romanian media: it crashed while flying 1.7 km up in the mountains. eyewitnesses say it came down with smoke on its tail, but still veering. as for europeans, as one born there, i can say your statement is false. i read jpost and ynet every day. people should start realise everything that happens in this world, small crack, big crack, it all passes thru this little country in the middle east. the future will be very much about israel one day, and that day, we will all be jews. so to your rantings there, my dear, i can only say, god bless israel.

.....are eating sweets.....what a hateful,barbaric people they are... dancing is next I suppose..

You people talk about "Romania" being friendly, but the country's friendliness is irrelevant. It only takes one guy with a grudge against Jews to do something like this. But we'll never know. Both countries will cover up the true details.

GOD BLESS THESE GREAT ISRAELI SOLDIERS and sincere condolences to their FAMILIES!!!

We are allies of most nations in the world, and cooperate in many fields, such as military, medical, municipal, educational, and everything it takes to lead a normal life. That is normal life. This really hurts. We lost some of our best air fighters, good people, salt of the earth. I feel so sorry for the families: Lt. Nir Lakrif's wife was expecting their first child, all the others had families, too. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

I wonder if Hamas or Hizbullah Contributed there as Helicopter flying low altidude when taken down Whatever that must be frequently repeated I just wonder why Israel had so many joint excersise in Turkey but none of them were killed like this. Romanian is better in this issue

I am native Romanian and I know quite well the area where the helicopter crashed. The weather there is always changing very fast, fog comes very often and the terrain is hilly and with many forests. Many military plane and helicopter accidents happened there. #4, your comment is unreasonable or it is a lugubrious joke, there are no Hamas fighters in Romania, and it is one of the countries with the least Muslim immigrants in Europe. Condolences to the families of the soldiers.

and it's a disaster when they are lost in peace. As someone who has dated a female who serves in the IDF, you just fear the worst at times when they are at war, and you can breath a bit easy when they are doing a peace time operation. My heart and condolances go out to the families and friends of these victims, and I'm sure those who support Israel will doing the same

How very very sad. My condolences to the families. May you have the strength to get through each day. May we know war no more. No wars, no excercises.

My deepest condolences to the families.

bring their beloved ones back to life

It is even hard to write the words of support when those you care about are not there anymore... May G-d comfort the hearts and souls of those who mourn...

does it matter, I just wanted to say that I sorry to hear about ot deep condolences for the 6 who lost their lives in protect and serve duty, may they rip.

Sincere condolences to the families of these brave and dedicated soldiers.

The military exercise was not public knowledge. Neither was the flight path of these helicopters. So the chances of a Hamas guy being in the mountains at the right place, at the right time AND properly armed with an anti-air missile are very, very slim.

Next Hamas will be responsibile for earth quakes and volcanic erruptions too.

and the whole of Israel.May HaShem keep their soul safe in Heaven.Shalom.

It was Hamas, CIA, FBI, MI6, KGB and a joint of all other similar institutions in all this world. Get real people.... it was an horrible accident. Romania is not Israel or any other Middle East country which eager for wars and military conflicts. Get real. End of story.
