Here is what we know so far about Flydubai Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Israel:
1- The plane was carrying Israelis. No reports say whether they were ordinary Israeli citizens or Israeli army personnel vacationing in the UAE.

2- The Flydubai pilot was an Indian Hindu named Smit Machchhar. Initial Hebrew media reports described him as Emirati citizen.
3- The co-pilot is Omani. He allegedly stabbed the pilot and attempted to dive and crash the plane, resulting in a fight between the 2 pilots. Smit eventually managed to unlock the cockpit door.
4- Passengers intervened and subdued the Omani co-pilot, while additional pilots aboard the flight took control of the plane and landed it safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia.
5- The Israeli passengers received care from a Saudi crew after landing in Saudi Arabia.
6- The Emirati based Indian pilot, Smit Machchhar, was hospitalized after suffering stab wounds, but his condition has not been officially disclosed.
The Omani co-pilot was arrested, and Saudi authorities are interrogating him. Mossad is reportedly involved in the broader investigation, but there is no confirmation that Mossad interrogated him in Saudi Arabia. (Hebrew media)
7- Israeli media initially reported that El Al was planning to evacuate the Israeli passengers from Saudi Arabia to Israel, which would have marked the first overt El Al flight between the 2 countries. However, reportedly Flydubai later sent a replacement aircraft that evacuated the Israeli passengers from Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, directly to Israel.

“The despicable Saudi enemy prevents the Yemeni people from flying civilian aircraft in Yemen’s airspace, while at the same time allowing Israeli enemy aircraft, or aircraft heading to Israel, to fly through the airspace of the Land of the Two Holy Mosques.”

More than just a friendly match…
Turkish Konyaspor club fans welcomed the Palestine reserve national team with a moving display in support of Gaza and in tribute to Palestinian journalists, athletes, and children killed in Gaza.
The match ended 2-2, but at exactly 89:59, one second before the 90th minute, the game was deliberately stopped.
