An Israeli Air Force fighter jet almost crashed into another plane on the runway on Saturday night, in a safety incident that is under investigation.

During the incident, an F-16 was taking off from the Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel for a strike in Lebanon, when it identified another fighter jet crossing the runway. The F-16 maneuvered out of the way moments before hitting the other plane, leaked footage shows.

The IDF in response to a query says that the crash almost happened "due to the issuance of wrong takeoff approval by the control tower, while another plane was on the runway."

"The crews responded quickly and professionally and a serious safety incident was avoided," the IDF says, adding that the incident will be investigated further.

There were no damage or injuries.
