Seems as though it crashed? The telemetry feed cut out at 149m from the surface. Lots of people with hands on their heads.

There was a bunch of Hebrew being spoken and then they announced in English that they were not successful.

Yeah i was laughing my ass off when I saw the altitude above surface was 0.15 km and the descent rate was 134.3m/s. Still, an achievement was made and I wish them luck in the future. This stuff always has me in awe, no matter the result.
