Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for severe punishment for individuals who attempted to hijack a Flydubai flight bound for Israel, emphasizing that intent should be judged as harshly as the outcome. The minister stated that anyone who tried to crash the plane and kill the 180 Israelis on board should face consequences as if they had committed murder.
Smotrich expressed gratitude for the passengers' heroic actions in preventing the catastrophe and stressed the need for a decisive response from Israel. He vowed to pursue and destroy enemies, stating, "I will pursue my enemies and destroy them, and I will not return until they are finished."
The incident involved a Flydubai flight en route to Israel, which was reportedly averted by the passengers. Following the event, all Flydubai flights to Ben Gurion Airport are to undergo enhanced security screening.
