Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that a serious incident aboard a FlyDubai flight was an attempted jihadist attack. He credited the foiling of the plot to the bravery of several Israeli passengers who reportedly rushed the cockpit, subdued the attacker, and helped restore control of the aircraft to the flight crew. Katz indicated that initial intelligence suggests the attacker's sole intention was to crash the plane with all its passengers.
Speaking about the incident, Katz emphasized the importance of heeding security warnings issued by himself and the Prime Minister, which he described as intelligence-based. He asserted that these warnings should be taken seriously by both external adversaries and those he termed "uninformed insiders." Katz also stressed that these warnings do not replace or diminish Israel's proactive and offensive security operations, conducted in conjunction with the IDF, against all threats.
