Looks like one of their F-100, badly mangled. 7 seems to be pretty low considering the condition of the wreck. No fire !!
BBC is reporting 9 casualties...

Too early to tell but my first thought was, if proper De-icing was performed. (Mist / -12C)
FR24 Track, if accurate indicates a loss of directional control as they could have put it down straight ahead and perhaps have a better outcome. it looks like they barely got of the ground as ALA elevation is 2,234ft.

Damn, now 14 casualties.


METAR around accident time (01:16am UTC)
Note the Temp / dew point spread M12/M13 conducive to icing.

Update:
from AVHERALD
I can't understand the logic to only de-ice the elevators ? Saving $$ ??

"On Dec 30th 2019 the airline reported in a press conference, that the captain (more than 21,000 hours total, more than 4,000 hours in command on type) was pilot flying, the first officer (more than 11,500 hours total, more than 5,000 hours on type) was pilot monitoring. The takeoff mass of the aircraft was 39,800 kg, thereof 6,100kg of fuel. The aircraft was configured at flaps 0 for departure. The captain decided only the elevators were to be de-iced. The aircraft departed runway 05R, engines and systems were all working normally. The aircraft rotated and became airborne at 07:20:36L at 148 KIAS. The aircraft reached a maximum height of 20 feet, rolled right to a bank angle of 5 degrees, rolled left to 18 degrees left bank angle and rolled right again to 14.5 degrees losing height, the pitch dropped from 16 degrees nose up to 4 degrees nose down and went up to 14.7 degrees nose up again, the aircraft contacted ground, climbed to 6 feet AGL again, pitch reduced to 5 degrees nose up, the aircraft descended to the ground again, speed decaying reaching 129 KIAS, while on the ground the airspeed recovered again to 148 KIAS, the pitch increased 19.6 degrees, the aircraft climbed to 11 feet AGL, the gear was retracted, the aircraft lost speed again reaching 130 KIAS, pitch dropped 1.6 degrees nose down and the aircraft impacted ground a last time.
