Caption: Israel-Bound Plane Makes Emergency Landing After Reported Fight Between Pilots. A flydubai passenger plane travelling from Dubai to Israel made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia following reports of a fight between its pilots. The aircraft transmitted three emergency signals, including one indicating possible unlawful interference, while flying over Jordan. The plane reportedly plunged around 16,000 feet in two minutes before landing at Tabuk airport in north-western Saudi Arabia. A passenger claimed one pilot stabbed another before passengers intervened, although the account has not been independently verified. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had warned days earlier of indications that an attack could take place during Israel's October elections. Israel’s military said it had no intelligence indicating that an attack on Israel was being planned, while the government said the situation was under control. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claimed the incident was a terrorist plot and praised the passengers who reportedly intervened. Democrats party leader Yair Golan praised the passengers but accused the government of using the incident to "score cheap political points”.
