Though many suspected the reason was indeed sonic booms, the Israeli army responded hours later, saying that the issue was being investigated.
“The sonic boom was created by exceeding the speed limit as well as weather conditions,” IDF Spokesperson's Unit said in a statement Thursday. “When the pilot realized he had surpassed [the speed limit], he immediately decreased the speed and continued with the training. The issue has been investigated and the pilot has been disciplined,” the statement added, according to the Haaretz.
