The pilot who attempted to hijack a Flydubai flight has confessed that his motive was revenge for events in Gaza and that he wished to die as a martyr. The pilot, Miam Al-Hamami, is being interrogated with the involvement of the Shin Bet security agency. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have questioned the flight crew and completely ruled out their involvement. Saudi Arabian and UAE officials are examining the terrorist's phone to build an intelligence profile.
During a cabinet meeting, an official from the Mossad intelligence agency revealed that Al-Hamami had made brief visits to hostile countries in recent years. The primary suspicion is that he was recruited or activated by an external terror group. The cabinet meeting also saw a dispute over responsibility for the security of foreign flights. Transportation Minister Miri Regev disclaimed responsibility, stating her ministry lacks the capability to monitor intelligence threats or the budget for such matters, a claim that raised serious questions.
Investigators are currently focused on analyzing digital evidence and deciphering the pilot's network of contacts. Israeli officials emphasize they will not rest until it is determined whether this was the act of a lone attacker or part of a broader terror infrastructure.
