Here's what you need to know about the nearly hijacked flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv https://www.hnaftali.com/post/flydubai-flight-to-tel-aviv-fz1073

Announcement from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Tabuk:

"Air traffic control received a distress call today from aircraft FZ1073 of the airline "FlyDubai," indicating its intention to make an emergency landing at 08:44.
A state of emergency was declared at the airport, and preparations were made to provide assistance to the aircraft, which landed safely at 09:45.
It was discovered that the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft were injured. Both were taken to the hospital for medical treatment."

DRAMATIC FOOTAGE from the moment the co-pilot tried to crash the plane.

The plane descended from about 30,000 feet to around 15,000 feet very fast.

Safe and sound: Israeli passengers are waiting at the airport in Saudi Arabia.

FlyDubai continued to operate flights from Israel even during the most difficult times over the past three years. Even at the height of tensions with Iran, and when all other foreign airlines canceled their flights, they continued to operate. Eventually, they allowed Israelis to fly to a hub in the UAE and then onward to other destinations.

This was a strategic decision by the President of the United Arab Emirates to keep this route open.

It is clear that we need to investigate what happened there today, but we should not rush to call for the route to be canceled. There are also significant political implications to consider.

— 🇮🇱/🇸🇦 NEW: Saudi Arabia refused the entry of an Israeli military evacuation flight to evacuate the passengers of the FlyDubai plane

Another civilian FlyDubai aircraft will land in Tabuk and take the stranded passengers back to Tel Aviv.

A heated argument occurred between the head of the Shin Bet (Israeli Security Agency) and the Minister of Transportation during a discussion about the continuation of flights between the Emirates and Israel.

According to a situation assessment, it is possible that the pilot boarded the flight with an axe.

In Israel, they are awaiting the results of the investigation into the co-pilot, which is being conducted on Saudi Arabian soil. There is still no certainty that this is an event stemming from nationalist motives, but this suspicion is growing as time passes. The person coordinating all aspects of the event, including relations with the Saudis and the investigation itself, is the head of the Mossad, Roman Gofman.

Israeli passengers are expected to depart soon from Saudi Arabia and travel to Israel on another FlyDubai flight.
