Indications are strengthening that the incident aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was a terror attack, according to a diplomatic source cited by Moriah Asraf. The co-pilot reportedly stabbed the captain, leading to a struggle in the cockpit. Crew members outside the cockpit heard the commotion, broke in, and regained control of the aircraft. Following the incident, a distress code was activated.
All Israeli passengers on the flight are returning to Israel and are not remaining for questioning in Dubai.
