An Israel-bound commercial flight operated by Flydubai from Dubai to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday morning at approximately 9:45 am (0645 GMT) after two hours in the air. The aircraft diverted following an on-board altercation between the captain and co-pilot, leaving both pilots wounded.
While initial reports from Israeli officials and media indicated the unscheduled landing and emergency code stemmed from a feud between the flight's two pilots, which briefly raised fears of a potential hijacking, an Israeli minister subsequently claimed that a "terrorist" had wanted to crash the plane.
