Israel's Ministry of Defense announced on Monday that passengers aboard a Flydubai flight will be recognized as victims of hostile acts. This designation allows civilian passengers who sustained physical or psychological injuries to file claims with the National Insurance Institute to determine disability percentages.
During the flight, the Omani co-pilot, Hamam Al-Hamami, attacked the Indian captain, Sumit Majhahar, with the apparent intention of crashing the plane. The disaster was averted due to Majhahar's struggle against Al-Hamami and the intervention of Israeli passengers and crew members who subdued the attacker.
Pilots Hanson Stephen from Fiji and Rowan Tooth from South Africa, who were scheduled to operate the return flight, executed an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. According to an investigation conducted in the United Arab Emirates, Al-Hamami was acting on a "terror plot aimed at causing numerous casualties at the Israeli airport."
The National Insurance Institute confirmed it has received the decision and is in contact with the affected passengers for further processing of their claims.
