Israel Declares Flydubai Incident Terror Attack, Passengers Eligible for Compensation
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israel's Ministry of Defense has officially classified an incident aboard a Flydubai flight as an act of hostility and an attempted terrorist act, following a thorough investigation by security services that confirmed its terrorist nature. The decision, reported by Channel 14, ends a period of uncertainty for passengers who were on the flight.

This official recognition grants passengers who sustained physical injuries or severe psychological trauma the legal right to claim state benefits and disability payments under legislation for victims of hostile actions. The National Insurance Institute (Bituah Leumi) has taken over the case, contacting all affected individuals to provide comprehensive assistance, including medical compensation and psychological support.

While the designation as a hostile act opens the door for compensation, payments are not automatic. Each affected passenger must file a claim and undergo a medical examination to confirm their physical or psychological damage. A special commission will determine the degree of disability, with those assessed at 20% or higher eligible for monthly allowances and additional benefits, the amount of which will depend on medical findings and current legislation.
