Al-Qaeda Calls for Attacks on Israeli and American Aircraft

The terrorist group Al-Qaeda has issued a call for "copycat" attacks targeting Israeli and American civilians and aircraft, according to Israeli Channel 14. This directive follows an attempted attack involving a Fly Dubai flight. In propaganda material circulated through channels associated with the network, direct references are made to the September 11th attacks. The authors claim that planes carrying "Zionists and Americans" remain targets.

The material, published in a bulletin linked to the group's supporters, includes images of past attacks. A detailed article shared on social media and messaging apps combines recollections of the 9/11 attacks with praise for the actions of a co-pilot involved in the Fly Dubai incident. The text contains explicit threats, stating, "The war is not over - planes with Zionists, Americans, and all other infidels fighting against Islam are still flying in the sky and can be attacked, as happened on September 11 and 30."

Counter-terrorism experts and intelligence officials noted that the dissemination style, use of symbols, and message content suggest that remnants of the organization are attempting to recruit supporters for independent operations and encourage "lone wolf" attacks. International authorities investigating the Fly Dubai incident are focusing on digital materials and social media accounts of those involved, finding extremist content linked to a suspected crew member.

Following the open incitement, security systems in the United States, Israel, and regional countries have heightened their readiness levels. They are continuing to monitor potential threats to international civilian air routes.
