Israeli authorities said that the actions of Israeli passengers who subdued and restrained the co-pilot helped prevent a crash of Flydubai flight 1073. The passengers intervened when the co-pilot attempted to take control of the plane, according to officials. Their quick response was crucial in ensuring the safety of everyone on board. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the incident on Friday, vowing to hold accountable "those who may have sponsored the attack on the Flydubai flight." He emphasized the seriousness of the situation, stating that the co-pilot had the intention to crash the plane with its passengers. Netanyahu's comments reflect the government's determination to investigate any potential external involvement in the incident. The flight, which was en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv, had been diverted to a military base in Eilat, Israel, after the co-pilot's actions. Authorities are working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident, including the co-pilot's motivations and whether there was any external influence. The incident has raised concerns about aviation security and the potential for threats against commercial flights. Officials are cooperating with international partners to ensure that such incidents are thoroughly investigated and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent future occurrences.
