Terrorist attack – attempted hijacking of a FlyDubai plane en route to Israel – update

(Haipo) – Distress signals were received from a FlyDubai plane that was en route to Israel. Fighter jets have been scrambled to the area, and security forces are being deployed. At this stage, the exact circumstances of the incident have not yet been clarified, but
In a photograph released by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, the plane is seen diving and the passengers' terrifying screams can be heard.

Accumulating evidence from the incident indicates that an attempt was apparently made to crash the plane by one of the pilots, who stabbed the lead pilot. The crew and passengers saved the situation and arrested the terrorist. This is unverified information at this stage.

Hourly update 9:53 From ZAKA:

Contact was made with the pilot. It appears to have been a fight between the pilots in the cockpit of the plane, so the circumstances of the fight are still under investigation and the fear that the background is a hijacking attempt has not been ruled out. The pilot activated a distress signal. The plane is scheduled to land in Saudi Arabia in the next few minutes. Details below.

Fear of kidnapping – fighter jets scrambled

According to foreign reports, this was Flight FZ1073 of Fly Dubai, which was en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. During the flight, distress signals were received from the plane, and fighter jets were subsequently scrambled to the area. The plane changed its course and retraced its steps to Dubai. There are conflicting reports regarding the plane's route. One report, which has not yet been released, stated that the plane may land in Saudi Arabia. At this stage, it is still unclear whether this was a hijacking attempt or a malfunction that caused the distress signals to be transmitted.

About a hundred Israeli passengers on the flight

According to reports, there are about 100 Israeli passengers on the plane. The security system in Israel is preparing for the incident and is monitoring developments. This is an unusual event that raises great concern, especially in light of the fact that the flight was on its way to land in Israel. As of this time, no further official update has been published regarding the condition of the passengers and the circumstances of the incident.

  1. "Israeli fighter jets were scrambled"... for what? They can't get into the plane to take control of the pilot... they won't shoot down a plane full of Israelis either... what's this nonsense?

    • It was already in Jordanian airspace. They feared an attack from the air. If it had penetrated Israeli airspace, they might have been forced to shoot it down to prevent an attempted crash. What is not understood?

    • This is not a joke. In certain extreme circumstances, a plane is intercepted. All over the world. When a plane that does not identify itself according to procedures approaches Ben Gurion, they give a warning before intercepting it so that it does not crash into the Azrieli Towers, for example.

  2. Times of Israel is right in the middle of the most extreme incitement against Israel, starring in the Google Del feed. Why isn't this propaganda stopped?
