Pilot Stabs Fellow Pilot on Israel-Bound FlyDubai Flight

In October 2026, a FlyDubai flight bound for Israel was diverted to Saudi Arabia after a pilot stabbed another pilot in the cockpit. Passengers intervened to stop the attack, according to headlines. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called the stabbed pilot a "true hero" and said the pilot may have tried to crash the plane. Netanyahu also said it was too early to determine who was behind the incident.
