In one instance, a Dutch court ordered the Netherlands to halt the export of F-35 parts to Israel over concerns about potential violations of international humanitarian law. Additionally, a US Marine Corps pilot ejected from an F-35 fighter jet over South Carolina, leading to a search for the missing aircraft.
