Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recounted the dramatic events of an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv, which was thwarted at the last moment. Speaking at a Knesset event alongside senior security officials, Netanyahu detailed how a passenger named Yeniv Hayun took action when he noticed the unfolding situation.
According to Netanyahu, Hayun, acting on his own initiative, ran towards the perpetrator, managed to break through the door, pulled the attacker back, and stopped him. Hayun then grabbed the plane's controls, pulling them back, which allowed other heroic passengers to restrain the assailant. They reportedly used a headphone cord to tie him up.
Netanyahu further described how a doctor attended to the attacker amidst passenger panic, while co-pilots who were on board managed to stabilize the aircraft and land it safely. "There is a limit to the miracles God grants us," Netanyahu stated, calling the series of events a "chain of miracles and divine assistance." He concluded by emphasizing that the nation could have been in national mourning, but instead, a great salvation occurred.
