Israeli aviation officials have not ruled out the possibility of a security incident, potentially an act of terrorism, following an emergency on a Flydubai flight arriving from Dubai at Ben Gurion Airport. Preliminary assessments suggest one of the pilots attempted to deliberately crash the aircraft. The co-pilot, with assistance from Israeli passengers onboard, managed to prevent the catastrophe. The exact circumstances of the event are still under investigation. Photos circulating on social media show a passenger in a bloodied shirt, believed to have helped subdue the individual responsible. The Israeli Prime Minister's office stated the situation is under control, while the IDF Chief of Staff has been briefed on the incident. Airport authorities have denied reports of airspace closures.
