It appears this was actually the last picture taken of MH17 before the final flight.[1][2] The photographer is named by Reuters as Yaron Mofaz,[3] who is possibly related with Shaul Mofaz, according to an investigation by Christopher Bollyn.[4]
Regarding MH 17, Israeli company GA Telesis - an aviation company headed by Aviv Tzur bought a written off plane from Malaysia Airlines to dismantle it, a 777-200. It was the only plane in their entire fleet, which was looking like the one that crashed and sat in their hangar at least since 2013, flying from France to Israel using a new registration number. GA Telesis does business with Pentagon 2000, an aviation software company for Boeing-planes, which is an Israeli family business of the Mofaz family and the father of Shaul Mofaz, Avraham Mofaz,[5] has sort of an "obituary" on the Pentagon 2000 website.[6][7] A branch company of Pentagon 2000 in Ireland listed as directors Gabriel Mofaz in New York and Yaron Mofaz in Israel, who likely is the person that took the last photo of the plane. Mofaz was very startled upon being called regarding these planes by Bollyn.[8]
