The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has announced that a pilot aboard a Flydubai flight bound for Israel stabbed a colleague and attempted to bring down the aircraft. The incident occurred while the plane was traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv.
According to reports, the aircraft plummeted approximately 17,000 feet (5,200 meters) in less than two minutes during the confrontation. The flight was subsequently diverted to Saudi Arabia for an emergency landing.
Passengers inside the cabin described the chaotic moments as they unfolded. One traveler released a video on social media in which a man can be heard shouting for help.
