This time investigators suspect engine failure. Cockpit tape recordings show that the crew was talking about such trouble moments before impact. One hypothesis is that the left engine stalled out, though the plane should have been able to take off with its remaining two. Another is that spinning wheels and blades of one of the jet's turbines blew apart, sending shrapnel flying into a second engine and making takeoff impossible.

At Gaza military headquarters, other Palestinians waited for proof-of-tax-payment stamps that they need to obtain travel permits and birth certificates.
