The co-pilot of the flight "acted alone".

The Cibias network - the BBC's partner in America - wrote, quoting knowledgeable sources in the investigation concerning the Flyday flight, that the co-pilot, who was said to have tried to shoot down the plane in Israeli captivity in a ground attack, apparently "acted alone".

However, the investigation into the details of this accident and the motives that caused it is still ongoing, and no official report or evidence has yet been released.

However, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, told reporters that he had heard from sources that this accident was "related to Iran." The American president did not provide details or evidence in this regard and said that investigators are still investigating.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he does not think the co-pilot intended to hijack the plane.

The captives said earlier that the co-pilot was influenced by "extremist Islamist teachings".
