Investigators in Israel are strengthening their assessment that the co-pilot of a Flydubai flight, identified as Hamam Al-Hamami, a 29-year-old UAE citizen, planned to hijack the aircraft and crash it in Israel. Al-Hamami was able to secure employment with Flydubai despite being dismissed from a previous job in Oman and lacking recommendations, a fact investigators are scrutinizing. His UAE passport allowed him entry into Israel, where it is believed he decided to attempt the attack. The investigation is focused on how he bypassed Flydubai's screening process and whether he acted alone or received encouragement from an external party. The possibility of active or passive support for the planned attack is being explored.
