Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the co-pilot of Flydubai flight FZ1073 was arrested after reportedly attempting to crash the plane by stabbing the pilot during an Israel-bound trip. Passengers and on-duty crew members intervened, breaking into the cockpit to subdue the attacker before the plane safely landed in Saudi Arabia. The aircraft experienced a sudden descent of nearly 14,000 feet within 30 seconds as reported by Flightradar24 data. Netanyahu praised the actions of those who helped save lives on board, referring to them as heroes.

Story summary
On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled multiple emergency alerts while flying over Jordan, leading it to divert to Tabuk Airport in northwestern Saudi Arabia. The Israeli Air Force scrambled fighter jets due to initial fears of a hijacking. However, Israeli officials later reported that the incident was caused by a fight between the pilots and not a security threat. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, held emergency consultations regarding the diversion. The plane landed safely with all passengers unharmed; it carried around 150 people, mostly Israelis.
