The story in 5 lines · by baba

Flydubai co-pilot Hammam al-Hamami admitted trying to crash the plane into Israel.
He allegedly stabbed the captain with an emergency ax before attempting to take control.
Concerns about al-Hamami's radicalization led to his termination from Oman Air in 2024.
His social media reportedly contained extremist content and footage related to the Oct. 7 attacks.
Israeli investigators seek to join the probe, while evidence of Iranian involvement is currently absent.
