Israeli security services have preliminarily assessed that the co-pilot of FlyDubai flight FZ1073, who allegedly attempted to cause a crash, likely acted alone. Two Israeli security officials told Reuters that no evidence of Iranian involvement has been found so far, though the investigation is ongoing and the attacker's motive remains unclear. Israel's Ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, cautioned Reuters that it is too early to draw final conclusions. Another Israeli official stated that Saudi Arabia is not yet providing all the requested information. Israel's Mossad and Shin Bet are involved in the investigation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously stated Israel's intention to determine if the attacker had accomplices or any connection to Iran. The UAE has launched its own investigation into the co-pilot's motives, potential links to terrorism, premeditation, and whether he received instructions. The suspect, an Omani citizen, is currently in Saudi Arabia, and his name has not been officially released.
