New details have surfaced regarding the investigation into the attempted attack on a Fly Dubai flight. An Israeli intelligence official revealed during a cabinet meeting that the suspect, identified as Omani pilot Maam Al-Hamami, visited several countries hostile to Israel in recent years. Some of these visits were brief, and security services are investigating whether he was recruited or activated by a state or organization during one of them. The Shin Bet security agency is currently in the United Arab Emirates investigating Al-Hamami, who allegedly attempted to murder the pilot and crash the plane with its passengers. Reports indicate the attack was planned long in advance, with the pilot intending to seize control of the aircraft and crash it at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. The planning reportedly began before he was hired by Fly Dubai, and he had sought out an airline with a route to Israel. Security forces are working to determine if this was an independent initiative or connected to his visits to hostile countries and potential contacts there.
