Douglas Murray argues in an article for The Free Press that despite ongoing threats, such as a recent attempted hijacking of a Flydubai plane bound for Tel Aviv by its co-pilot, Israel has been successful in its conflicts with Islamic radicals over the past three years. He emphasizes that while there are daily reports suggesting defeat, he maintains that practical victories on the ground outweigh negative public perception. Murray contends that tangible successes in thwarting attacks and protecting citizens demonstrate a strategic advantage for Israel, even if global opinion often portrays a different narrative.

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.
