Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv signals distress
An internal violence incident occurred among the crew of a Fly Dubai aircraft that was en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv, leading to its diversion and emergency landing at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. Flight tracking data indicates that the aircraft descended rapidly from 34,000 feet to approximately 16,600 feet within two minutes and sent a distress signal before landing. All passengers, including Israelis, are safe, and safety procedures have been carried out. Israeli officials confirmed that the incident was not related to a hijacking and was an internal matter among the crew, with security consultations underway and Israeli fighter jets on alert. This type of incident is rare, especially given the presence of Israelis in Saudi Arabia, a country that does not maintain diplomatic relations with Israel, despite opening its airspace to Israeli flights since 2022 as part of normalization efforts.
