Israeli sources revealed that investigations into Omani co-pilot Hammami indicate he planned to crash a Flydubai flight at Ben Gurion Airport. According to the sources, Hammami attempted to seize control of the aircraft after it entered Jordanian airspace. His apparent intention was to feign a routine landing at Ben Gurion Airport before crashing the plane, causing mass casualties. The investigations suggest that if he failed to reach Israel, Hammami intended to crash the aircraft over a U.S. military base in Jordan. Israeli sources also indicated that Hammami had planned the attack for July but postponed it due to a personal relationship with a crew member, whom he "pitied" and decided to spare. Hebrew media reported that Hammami arrived in Israel in June, having prepared himself to carry out the attack and become a martyr.
