suspension of flights from Tel Aviv to Moscow and back for a week.
El Al Airlines became the first airline to take such measures after

On December 26, 14 injured and the bodies of four dead
passengers were brought to Azerbaijan.

were injured.
The plane's black boxes have been recovered, and efforts are
underway to analyze them in accordance with international aviation
protocols. The investigation into the causes of the crash is
ongoing, and final conclusions will be made after all necessary
investigations and data analysis have been completed.
