Defense Minister Katz Declares FlyDubai Incident an Attempted Jihadist Attack
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that a serious incident aboard a FlyDubai flight was an attempted jihadist attack, thwarted by the bravery of several Israeli passengers. According to Katz, these passengers rushed the cockpit, subdued the attacker, and regained control of the aircraft for the flight crew. Initial intelligence suggests the attacker intended to crash the plane with all its passengers.
Katz emphasized that intelligence-based security warnings issued by himself and the Prime Minister should be taken seriously by both external enemies and those he termed "uninformed insiders." He added that these warnings are not a substitute for proactive and offensive operations conducted with the IDF against any threat.
