The flight is no longer appearing on the FlightRadar app

A few minutes ago, the pilot sent another distress signal.

Since the beginning of the incident, the aircraft has not established contact.

It appears to be a very serious situation.

It is important to emphasize: The pilots did not make contact with air traffic control towers, neither in Israel nor in Jordan.

In the security establishment, it is estimated that the plane will land in Saudi Arabia. All possibilities are being considered, ranging from a security incident to a medical emergency or other event that necessitates an emergency landing.

The plane has made contact with the authorities in Saudi Arabia and is expected to land in the kingdom in approximately 10 minutes.

Security officials estimate that the plane will land in Saudi Arabia. All possibilities are being considered, ranging from a security incident to a medical or other emergency requiring an emergency landing.

The plane landed in Saudi Arabia. The understanding is that the pilots were arguing with each other, which is why the distress signal was activated.

Again, welcome to the Middle East. Just another day.

✈️ The complete flight path of the plane - from Dubai to Jordan, the activation of the signal, and the moment it disappeared from radar.

The Chief of Staff held a situation assessment meeting in the past few minutes with the Commander of the Air Force, the Head of Planning, the Head of Intelligence, and other commanders.

The CEO of FlyDubai informed Israeli authorities that a replacement aircraft will soon be sent from Dubai to Saudi Arabia to collect the passengers and bring them to Israel.

The flight crew consisted of a Russian pilot and an Ukrainian co-pilot.

😱 Dramatic report: There is suspicion that one of the pilots attempted suicide, performing a dive from an altitude of 30,000 feet at a speed of approximately Mach 1, down to an altitude of 15,000 feet in a short amount of time.

The second pilot prevented this through a struggle with him.

Passenger on a plane:

"We heard screams and saw blood. The pilot was stabbed. There were moments when we thought we wouldn't get out of there alive."

(Not confirmed)

Passengers reported: Someone stabbed one of the pilots with a pocketknife; we saw a lot of blood. The plane lost control for a few minutes, and Israeli passengers helped to regain control of the situation.

Report: One of the pilots – likely the co-pilot – stabbed the main pilot. A crew member who was outside the cockpit heard what happened, rushed in, and restored control, taking over the plane from that moment on.

The indications are strengthening that this was an act of terrorism, not a mental health incident. We are awaiting information from Saudi Arabia.

All Israelis are returning; no one is staying there for questioning. They are being questioned now, and everyone will return. We have our people (forces) on the ground there.

Israeli source: It's unclear what the pilot was trying to do - whether to hijack the plane to Israel, crash it on the ground, or carry out a 9/11-style attack. What is clear is that he intended to hijack the aircraft.

Report: Co-pilot - Omani
Captain - Emirates

Co-pilot attacked the Captain.

1. The co-pilot who attempted to crash the plane was Omani, and the pilot was from the United Arab Emirates.

2. Israeli intelligence agencies are involved in the investigation currently underway in Saudi Arabia.
