๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ช๐ธ๐ฆ Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said that there was a very serious security incident on a flight from Dubai to Israel this morning, when almost all the passengers were Israelis. According to him, one pilot stabbed the other and apparently tried to destroy the plane, which went into a dive.
A passenger and a crew member broke into the cockpit and subdued the attacker as he tried to sabotage the plane's systems. Another crew member stabilized the plane, which landed safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia.
"I salute these heroes who showed extraordinary resourcefulness and courage. They saved many lives and prevented a major disaster," Netanyahu said. He said he directed the security agencies to prepare for further potential threats.
