Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a review of security measures related to international flights for Israeli prisoners after the co-pilot of a plane traveling to Israeli prisoners from Dubai tried to shoot down the plane on Sunday, October 12.

The Prime Minister's Office, in Netanyahu's statements, asked Shmuel Benazra, head of the National Assembly, to appoint a person to conduct a "comprehensive review of all security aspects of foreign civil aviation for Israeli prisoners."

In captivity, demands have grown for an investigation into a security glitch that allowed the co-pilot of a Flydeby flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv to try to shoot down the plane after stabbing the Indian pilot on Wednesday.

🔸 Israeli captive media reported that the co-pilot intended to shoot down the plane in Israeli captivity. The critics focused on the question of how a pilot from a country that does not have diplomatic relations with the captives could be authorized to pilot a flight to Tel Aviv.
