Flydubai pilot attempts terror hijacking of flight to Tel Aviv, foiled by Israeli passengers.

Israeli official says “major disaster avoided” after pilot stabbed his co-pilot, attempted to hijack aircraft with over 100 Israeli passengers • Plane makes emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
 +
Zvika Klein. September 30, 2026
 +
A flydubai commercial passenger aircraft flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv diverted to and landed in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning after what Israeli officials said was an attempted hijacking by one of the pilots that led to a mid-air altercation.
 +
 +
An Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post a “major disaster was narrowly avoided” amid growing fears that one of the pilots attempted to hijack the plane with the intention of crashing it into the ground. Additional flight crew, aided by Israelis on board the flight, managed to subdue the pilot and bring him under control, the official told the Post.

Katz says flydubai incident was ‘jihadist terrorist attack attempt thwarted by brave Israelis’
 +
By Emanuel Fabian.
 +
September 30, 2026.
 +
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.

Doctor on flydubai Jet Recounts Cabin Terror on C14.

 +
Dr. Shota Musaev, the physician who treated the wounded pilot aboard flydubai Flight FZ1073, spoke with Channel 14 News on Wednesday evening to describe the sheer terror at 30,000 feet. Musaev revealed that a passenger named Yaniv physically hauled the assailant out of the cockpit before locking himself inside to secure the flight deck, while the doctor desperately worked to stem severe hemorrhaging from the captain’s head and arms.
 +
Dr. Shota Musaev, the physician who treated the wounded pilot during the attempted terror attack aboard flydubai Flight FZ1073 en route to Israel, recounted the mid-air horror during an interview with Channel 14 News on Wednesday evening, emphasizing that the passengers’ lightning-fast reaction averted a catastrophic disaster.
 +
 +
According to Musaev, the ordeal unfolded abruptly when the assailant launched his assault on the flight deck: “It didn’t start quietly inside the cockpit; someone breached the flight deck. The pilot was attacked, and within seconds the aircraft began banking violently in the air. At first, we assumed it was severe air turbulence, but within moments we realized it was a terror attack.”

‘I grabbed him, choked him and pulled the controls’: Israeli recounts Flydubai cockpit fight
 +
Yaniv Hayun, who returned to Israel with blood on his shirt, says he dragged the suspected attacker from the cockpit, then used his aviation experience to pull back on the controls until another pilot took over.
 +
Itamar Eichner|09.30.26
 +
 +
“I grabbed the attacker, put him in a chokehold and pulled him out. I called the Israelis who were with us, jumped back in and pulled the controls. I started pulling them back.”
 +
That was how Yaniv Hayun described
 +
the extraordinary moments inside the cockpit of Flydubai Flight FZ1073 after landing at Ben Gurion Airport on Wednesday evening,
 +
his white shirt still stained with blood.
 +
 +
“I have an aviation background,” Hayun told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he met at the airport. “The plane began to level out, and then the pilot told me he was taking control.”
 +
Hayun was among at least four Israelis who helped overpower the suspected attacker aboard the Dubai-Tel Aviv flight after the Omani co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain and, according to Israeli assessments, tried to crash the aircraft.
 +

 +
He said the suspected attacker was also trying to damage the aircraft’s instruments and systems.
 +
“The pilot was trying to destroy the instruments in order to disable the plane,” Hayun recalled.
 +
Hayun said he believes the wounded captain, who was injured during the cockpit struggle, managed to unlock the cockpit door for the passengers before collapsing.
 +
 +
“He was very close to the door, and that made it difficult for us to open it,” Hayun said. “My conclusion is that he managed to open it for us before he collapsed.”
 +
 +
Hayun’s account adds another layer to testimony from passengers who described rushing toward the cockpit after hearing screams and realizing that something had gone badly wrong.
 +
Israeli dentist Musaev Shota, another passenger involved in restraining the suspect, told ynet that he ran forward after hearing shouting, helped bind the attacker and then treated the badly bleeding captain.
 +
Shota said the group tied the suspect’s hands and legs after he continued struggling and later provided emergency treatment to the wounded pilot.
 +
The flight had lost altitude rapidly during the incident before another flight crew aboard the aircraft regained control and diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
 +
Hours later, all 174 passengers, including 27 children, returned to Israel aboard another Flydubai aircraft.
 +
For Hayun, the moment the aircraft finally began to stabilize came only after passengers had fought their way into the cockpit, removed the suspected attacker and helped keep the plane under control long enough for another pilot to take over.

 +
The flydubai pilot who was stabbed on flight FZ1073, Indian national Capt. Smit Machchhar, reportedly unlocked the cockpit door before losing consciousness, passenger Yaniv Hayoun told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the two spoke at Ben-Gurion Airport on Wednesday. 
 +
 +
Hayoun told Netanyahu that the cockpit door was unlocked, but Machchhar was close enough to the door that it was difficult to open. "My conclusion is that he resourcefully managed to open the door for us before he collapsed," he explained.

Chokehold, headphone cables and first aid: How 4 Israelis helped save 174 aboard Flydubai.
 +
 +
Yaniv Hayun grabbed the controls, Assaf Rajuan and Zvika Manes helped restrain the suspect, dentist Shota Musaev treated the stabbed captain, and passengers say the wounded pilot left them a path into the cockpit.
 +
 +
There were 174 passengers aboard the Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv when screams about a stabbing suddenly spread through the cabin.
 +
 +
Four Israeli passengers rushed toward the cockpit, each playing a different role in the struggle that followed.
 +
 +
Yaniv Hayun says he choked the suspected attacker and later pulled back on the aircraft’s controls. Zvika Manes and Assaf Rajuan helped overpower and restrain the suspect. Dentist Shota Musaev treated the badly wounded captain and stopped his bleeding. Passengers believe Indian captain Smit Machchhar, despite being stabbed, managed to leave them a way into the cockpit before collapsing.
 +
 +
Together, their accounts describe a frantic fight aboard a plunging aircraft after the Omani co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain, apparently using a crash axe found in the cockpit.
 +
 +
Yaniv Hayun.
 +
 +
Hayun said the cockpit door was not locked when passengers reached it, something he believes may have been the wounded captain’s doing.
 +
 +
“The captain was very close to the door, and that made it difficult for us to open it,” Hayun said. “My conclusion is that he managed to open it for us before he collapsed.”
 +
 +
Once inside, Hayun said he saw the Omani co-pilot between the seats.
 +
 +
“He was trying to destroy the instruments to disable the aircraft. I grabbed the attacker, choked him and pulled him out. I called the Israelis and told them. We pinned him down,” he said.
 +
 +
Hayun then returned to the cockpit.
 +
 +
“I jumped back into the cockpit. I watch ‘Air Crash Investigation,’ so I pulled the controls and the plane began to level out. After that, a pilot who was traveling on the plane told me he was taking control,” Hayun said.
 +
 +
Two pilots who were aboard then took over the cockpit and eventually landed the aircraft safely.
 +
 +
“I think because of my children, I behaved the way I did,” Hayun said.
 +
 +
Assaf Rajuan.
 +
 +
Assaf Rajuan had been returning from a vacation in Thailand when the flight turned into what he described as a “horror movie.”
 +
 +
“We heard screams from near the restroom. A girl’s mother came out screaming, and we understood something had happened to the plane,” he said. “It lost control, went down at a 90-degree angle, and we understood there was no control over the aircraft and something had happened.”
 +
 +
Rajuan was among those who helped overpower the suspected attacker.
 +
 +
“The cockpit door was open and we started seeing the cockpit fill with blood,” he said. “People went in. There was a guy who got there before me named Zvika Manes. I went in with two other guys and we tried to overpower the attacker, and we succeeded.”
 +
 +
“We also had help from some of the crew. We managed to keep the attacker neutralized for 50 minutes and land in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
 +
 +
Rajuan said he was still struggling to process what happened.
 +
 +
“I was in Thailand a few hours earlier, and after that I was in a horror movie,” he said. “Of course, it wasn’t just me. Bigger and stronger guys than me helped, blocked the doors and decided to go all the way, because life is stronger than anything and we wanted to fight for it. For our families, our children, the crew.”
 +
 +
“It’s hard to believe it ended this way, but it did,” he added. “I saw all the bursts of blood, the cuts, the Indian pilot. I know the plane lost control and plunged. Luckily, the right people were there at the right time.”
 +
 +
Zvika Manes.
 +
 +
Zvika Manes also rushed the suspected attacker and helped restrain him using cables from the multimedia headphones distributed on the flight.
 +
 +
“There was a lot of blood. The plane plunged rapidly like you see in horror movies. There were screams. It was a very difficult event until the pilot stabilized the plane,” Manes said.
 +
 +
“We lost our angles. He was really trying to fly the aircraft toward the ground, and people were thrown around and screaming,” he said of the co-pilot.
 +
 +
“We later tied him up and neutralized him. It took quite a bit of physical force. He was a strong man, probably full of adrenaline,” Manes said.
 +
 +
He said a doctor and nurse aboard the flight then worked to stabilize the wounded captain, who had suffered stab wounds across his body.
 +
 +
Manes, like Hayun, said he believed the stabbed captain managed to open the cockpit door, giving passengers the chance to intervene.
 +
 +
Shota Musaev.
 +
 +
Dentist Shota Musaev initially rushed forward to help fight the suspected attacker. After the man was restrained, Musaev turned his attention to the badly wounded captain.
 +
 +
“The pilot was in very serious condition, with heavy bleeding from his head and hands,” Musaev told Ynet. “I was the only doctor on the plane. I managed to stop the bleeding, and the pilot was in fairly stable condition until close to the landing, when his condition deteriorated somewhat.”
 +
 +
Musaev said the captain remained able to communicate while lying on the floor and told those around him that he was 39 and had two children.
 +
 +
“The attacker stabbed him and cursed him,” Musaev said. “At that moment you don’t think, you just act. There were four of us who took control of the entire situation, and if we hadn’t, we wouldn’t be talking to you.”
 +
 +
“I saw something was wrong and ran forward. I didn’t wait for someone to call me,” he said. “I came to fight the attacker when I heard the screams. I didn’t come to provide medical treatment. But after we tied him up, I treated the stabbed pilot.”
 +
 +
Musaev said the suspect continued struggling and trying to break free.
 +
 +
“We tied him several times, both his legs and his hands. He was thrashing around, so we tied him even more tightly. Then he calmed down and understood that he was in our hands,” he said.
 +
 +
He said Saudi medical teams later treated the captain and that he was told the pilot had survived and was no longer in immediate danger.
 +
 +
Captain Smit Machchhar.
 +
 +
Captain Smit Machchhar remained hospitalized in Saudi Arabia in serious condition, although reports said he was out of immediate danger.
 +
 +
He had not publicly given his version of events at the time of the report.
 +
 +
According to passengers, his actions may have been decisive. They believe that despite being wounded in the confrontation with the Omani co-pilot, Machchhar managed to leave the cockpit accessible before collapsing.
 +
 +
That opening allowed the Israeli passengers to get inside, overpower the suspected attacker and make way for another flight crew to take control of the aircraft.
 +
 +
Each person aboard the flight played a different part in those minutes: restraining the suspect, pulling back on the controls, stopping the bleeding or, passengers believe, leaving the cockpit door open long enough for help to get through.

‘I grabbed the terrorist’: How hero passengers helped save flight FZ1073.

Updated October 1, 2026 — 10:47am,first published 7:01am
 +
 +
A gruesome brawl was under way at the front of Flight FZ1073 when one passenger chose to force his way into the cockpit to prevent a disaster.
 +
 +
That passenger, Yaniv Hayoun, is now recognised as a hero who stopped one of the pilots from sending the flydubai Boeing 737 MAX crashing to the ground.
 +
 +
Videos shared online showed the pilots on the floor near the cockpit, bloodied and partly undressed to treat their wounds. Some passengers also had blood on their clothes and streaming down their faces.
 +
 +
He did not act alone: several others joined him in a fight that lasted at least 20 minutes to defeat the co-pilot, who is now under arrest over a suspected act of terrorism.
 +
 +
But Hayoun’s account reveals how close things came to a catastrophic mass murder of 174 passengers and crew, almost all of them Jewish.

“I STARTED TALKING TO HASHEM”: Children Recount Terrifying Moments As Flydubai Plane Plunged.
 +
September 30, 2026
 +
 +
Children who were aboard the Flydubai flight that was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia are describing the terrifying moments when the aircraft suddenly began losing altitude as passengers learned that the captain had been stabbed.
 +
 +
New testimony also reveals the remarkable chain of events that reportedly led passengers to realize something was terribly wrong inside the cockpit.
 +
 +
The father of 8-year-old passenger Omer Shalom said a woman aboard the flight got up to use the bathroom near the cockpit and heard the screams of the wounded captain. She immediately called out to her husband, Yaniv Hayun, who rushed toward the cockpit and helped overpower the attacker.
 +
 +
Omer’s father described the terrifying moments as the aircraft plunged through the air at extreme angles.
 +
 +
“The rear wing broke from the speed of the fall. Everything went through my head, all the things I can’t say again in front of the girls,” he said.
 +
 +
Among the passengers was 16-year-old Peleg Itali, who was traveling with his parents and sister and was seated toward the front of the aircraft.
 +
 +
“The plane started going crazy and I heard a woman screaming that he had been stabbed,” Peleg told Ynet. “Two heroes jumped forward toward the cockpit. Nobody explains to you that there’s a terrorist. I saw the ground and felt that we were falling. I started talking to God, asking forgiveness for everything and asking for heaven. I almost wrote a eulogy.”
 +
 +
The terrifying scene was especially difficult for the many families and young children aboard the aircraft.
 +
 +
Peleg recalled mothers desperately attempting to calm their frightened children as screams erupted throughout the cabin and passengers had little understanding of what was happening.
 +
 +
Eight-year-old Omer also described her fear as the plane rapidly lost altitude.
 +
 +
“I was scared to death because I thought we were going to crash,” she said.
 +
 +
Only after the attacker had been subdued did Omer’s mother explain to her that the aircraft was heading for an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.
 +
 +
The plane ultimately landed safely in Tabuk, where Saudi authorities received approximately 180 Israeli passengers and provided food and medical assistance before arrangements were made for their return to Israel aboard a Flydubai rescue flight.

 +
@AvivaKlompas:
 +
A series of open miracles on the flydubai flight that very nearly went down with a plane full of passengers.
 +
 +
Miracle 1: A plane full of people survived an attempt by the copilot to crash their aircraft. Passengers and crew broke into the cockpit and subdued the attacker after he stabbed the captain.
 +
 +
Miracle 2: Two off-duty flydubai pilots happened to be on board. They took control of the plunging aircraft and landed it safely.
 +
 +
Miracle 3: The plane plummeted and spun out of control -  spiraling some 17,000 feet. It ultimately touched down with a chunk of its rudder missing.
 +
 +
Miracle 4: They landed in Saudi Arabia.
 +
 +
Saudi Arabia has no diplomatic relations with Israel. Yet when an aircraft carrying Israelis was in mortal danger, Saudi Arabia became their refuge. Saudi authorities received them, kept them safe, and got them onto a replacement aircraft that flew them directly from Saudi soil to Tel Aviv.
 +
 +
For all the reasons to despair about the Middle East, don't miss what happened today.

A senior American official confirmed to Channel 14 News on Wednesday that the United States is prepared to provide investigative and intelligence support to Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia upon request. The offer follows the dramatic thwarted hijacking aboard flydubai Flight FZ1073, as intelligence agencies across the Middle East coordinate to uncover the motives and potential state-backed terror networks behind the Omani first officer's assault.

Bochurim to Gaza in Arabic: "Donkeys better"
 +
Three years after Hamas terrorists murdered, kidnapped and burned homes across the South, two yeshiva students sat down in a Jerusalem courtyard and spoke directly to Gaza, in Arabic. They named Sinwar, Deif, Haniyeh and Nasrallah, and sent a message to Iran as well.

In the early hours of October 7, 2023, thousands of terrorists from the Gaza Strip broke into southern Israeli communities and IDF bases. They murdered civilians and soldiers, burned and looted homes, attacked women, children and elderly people, and kidnapped 251 people into the Gaza Strip.
 +
 +
Three years later, two yeshiva bochurim from Jerusalem decided to mark the day in a different way. Not with a speech, not in a studio, and not in Hebrew.
 +
 +
The two sat down in a Jerusalem courtyard, opened a camera, and began speaking in Arabic. Their message is directed first of all to Gaza, but quickly reaches Lebanon, Iran and anyone else who has been part of the campaign against Israel since that morning.

 +
 +
A network established by the founder of Palestine Action US has helped fund and develop a web of media outlets used to promote its radical messaging, with the network extending into organizations connected to Iranian state media.
 +
This was revealed exclusively to The Jerusalem Post by Honest Reporting on Wednesday.
 +
Palestine Action is an anti-Israel protest group founded in the UK in 2020. Its work - before its proscription by the UK in 2025 - mainly involved the vandalism and destruction of defense factories, companies and Israel-linked institutions.
 +
 +
A US branch of Palestine Action was launched in October 2023 by multi-millionaire heir turned communist activist James Cox ‘Fergie’ Chambers. Palestine Action US describes itself as a “direct action network.” The UK branch was recently designated and sanctioned by the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in August 2026. The US branch has not been designated.

Founder facing extradition to the US over Hamas financing, support.

Chambers is currently facing extradition from Spain to the US over alleged Hamas financing and Hamas support. The Irish Times cited Chambers’ partner Stella Schnabel as saying he is accused of providing Hamas with $7.5 million in funding. He himself received $250 million after divesting from his family’s media conglomerate, Cox Enterprises, in 2023, according to his spokesperson.
