The Israeli military's (IDF) operational plan for aircraft hijacking scenarios, codenamed "International Trade," has been cleared for publication. This plan was activated on September 30 during an attempted hijacking of a FlyDubai aircraft. The "International Trade" plan outlines procedures for scrambling fighter jets to escort a hijacked plane. If communication with the aircraft is lost and cannot be reestablished, and there is a credible threat of a large-scale terror attack, an order can be given to destroy the plane.
The plan was developed by the IDF in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in the United States, specifically to counter similar scenarios targeting Israel. The plan's name, "International Trade," is a direct reference to the World Trade Center in New York, which was destroyed by jihadists in the 9/11 attacks.
