Dubai Flight Incident Suspected Terror Attack, Officials Say
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. They are currently being interrogated locally by Israeli forces who are present on the scene. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities leaning towards a terrorist motive rather than a mental health episode.
