The co-pilot involved in the stabbing incident on an Israel-bound FlyDubai flight has been identified as Hamam al-Hammami, an Omani national. Three unnamed sources, including diplomats from both Gulf and Western nations, confirmed this information under conditions of anonymity due to lack of authorization for media comments. Authorities are currently investigating whether al-Hammami acted alone or was influenced by extremist groups.

Story summary

On September 30, 2026, a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv signaled an emergency over Jordanian airspace, leading it to divert and land at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. The plane had initially transmitted distress signals before switching to codes indicating possible hijacking but reverted back to general emergency alerts. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened urgent consultations regarding the incident, with Israel's air force scrambling jets due to initial fears of a hijack attempt. However, security officials later revealed that the alert was triggered by a physical altercation between the pilots rather than a hijacking threat; all passengers were reported safe upon landing.
