Defense Minister Israel Katz says the incident aboard the flydubai plane today “was a jihadist terrorist attack attempt.”
The copilot of the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight allegedly stabbed the pilot in a suspected attempt to crash the aircraft, which later made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
“The grave incident on the flydubai plane was a jihadist terrorist attack attempt, which was thwarted only thanks to the bravery of several Israeli passengers who broke into the cockpit, overpowered the terrorist and, with their own hands, restored control of the plane to another flight crew who was present there,” Katz says in a statement.

I think if I was in a foxhole I’d want to be in it with an Israeli.
This may be the first time a Dubai plane has been caught up in the Jihad missions. Not even billions in oil wealth can fully protect you, when you are dealing with Muslims.
divine providence that a SECOND flight crew just happened to be on board ...
so now what? ...
polygraph ALL flydubai pilots and copilots every six months?
I read someplace that they always fly with a second crew?
Well, yeah....
I once met Uma Thurman in a sauna in NYC’s East Village, and she had an attractive and extremely fit looking female Israeli bodyguard with her. Both were a great pleasure to speak with.
how about just put them through metal detectors to ensure they have no weapons...
the caliber of Israeli women is so much higher than any other... if looks could kill, it would be this photo... and i would die happy.
Not sure, but definitely an evil sh!t.
Although in terms of a difference: probably similar to the difference between an eastern diamondback rattlesnake and a timber rattlesnake? In that, I’m sure there’s a difference, but both will bite and bite hard.
I think for Israel the Shiite type of shit is worse (due to Iran), and one could say that due to all the issues around the strait of Hormuz, the Shiite type of shit is worse for the rest of the world.
However, in terms of terrorism, the Sunni type of shit is worse.
Shiite terror groups include Iran (the whole damn country is a terrorist organization), Hezbollah, the Houthis, and some militia terrorists who were operating in certain parts of Iraq (with support from the Iranian Quds Force …and who killed/injured a lot of brave troops with their EFP-type IEDS). Hamas is also supported by Iran, but Hamas is a Sunni group not Shia.
Sunni groups include Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, Abu Sayyaf, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Taliban, and a long laundry list of other never-do-wells.
Bottom line though: Same shit, different @-hole. All deserve liquidation.
lol. I imagine the males are just as no-nonsense. For sure the guys on this flight knew what to do and got ‘er done.
"Don't pay attention to the air crews flying into the country on a regular basis."
Thank God there were several quick-thinking heroes on board. They made all the difference.
The Israelis are serious people. Such people are becoming increasingly rare in the West.
I’ve been to Israel.
Yep they are that HOT!
And trained killers.
