A FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv was forced to divert to Saudi Arabia after a co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain with a crash axe in an attempted hijacking, raising serious concerns about airline security protocols. Investigators believe the assailant was acting alone, despite calls for stronger vetting processes for foreign pilots following the incident. Passengers described a harrowing scene as several individuals intervened to prevent the aircraft from crashing. While the co-pilot is linked to extremist ideologies, questions arise about how such individuals manage to gain access to international flights. Israeli authorities have faced scrutiny for failing to independently vet foreign airline crews, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in aviation security. The heroics of the crew and passengers have drawn praise, with notable figures, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former President Donald Trump, recognizing their bravery.
