A FlyDubai flight heading to Israel was forced to divert to Saudi Arabia following a violent altercation in the cockpit, where the pilot allegedly stabbed the co-pilot in an apparent attempt to crash the plane. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu confirmed the incident, stating the flight experienced a sudden drop of 17,000 feet during the struggle between pilots. Passengers, including off-duty pilots, managed to tackle the assailant, preventing a potential disaster. All 180 passengers aboard are reported safe. Israeli authorities are treating the incident as a possible hijacking attempt and have increased security measures for flights to and from Israel.
