Israeli Passenger Recounts Plane Hijacking Attempt in Dramatic Video

A dramatic video recorded inside a Flydubai plane shortly after landing in Saudi Arabia shows an Israeli passenger, his clothes blood-stained, describing the terrifying moments of a hijacking attempt. The passenger, who stated he was among those who helped subdue the suspect, filmed himself and sent the message to his family to reassure them.

"Everything is fine, we've landed, apparently in Saudi Arabia," the passenger began the video. He then recounted the grim scene on the plane: "There's a pilot here who is seriously injured, they're evacuating him. Another terrorist, apparently, his condition... we don't know, but he's tied up."

The passenger, still visibly shaken, struggled to describe the ordeal. "It was tough. It was... it was tough. Probably in a few hours we'll be home." He then showed his blood-stained clothes, saying, "I need to change these clothes. It's all full of blood." When his wife asked if the suspect was also injured, he confirmed, "And the terrorist? Yes."

Towards the end of the video, the passenger addressed his children directly. "I love you. I'll tell you when we get back," he said, adding, "Uri, Lili, you have a hero dad. One of the heroes, not alone." He emphasized that he did not act alone, repeating, "One of the heroes, yes."

The video concluded with words highlighting the intensity of the passengers' experience: "Okay, see you probably later. Let the adrenaline go down. Bye."
