Major international media outlets initially described the Flydubai incident as a "fight" or "altercation" between the pilots, prompting strong criticism. The co-pilot stabbed the captain, and the aircraft descended nearly 14,000 feet in 30 seconds. Passengers and crew members entered the cockpit, subdued the co-pilot, and enabled the aircraft to regain control before diverting to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The Associated Press reported that the co-pilot appeared to be attempting to crash the plane, while Israeli authorities sent fighter jets because of fears of a hijacking. The BBC initially called the incident a physical altercation and later added details about the stabbing, passenger intervention, and apparent attempt to bring down the aircraft. The BBC also mistakenly referred to Ben Gurion Airport as “Ben Gvir Airport.” The New York Times described the diversion as following a confrontation between the pilot and co-pilot, while the Guardian called it an apparent brawl and said Israeli officials were investigating whether it was an attempted terror attack. The Guardian said it was publishing only verified information and updated its coverage as more details became available. Passengers described the aircraft plunging toward the ground, people being thrown around the cabin, and a desperate effort to reach the cockpit. The co-pilot's motive remains under investigation, but the incident involved a stabbing, a dramatic as an attempt to crash the aircraft. He said the co-pilot repeatedly stabbed the captain, attempted to take control of the aircraft, and tried to crash it. Passengers and a crew member broke into the cockpit and subdued him, while an off-duty pilot helped operate the aircraft and a doctor treated the wounded captain. Shapiro praised the captain for resisting the attacker and opening the cockpit door. He said the aircraft carried 174 people, including children, and that the presence of many Israeli passengers increased the likelihood that people with military experience and medical training could respond quickly. He said the passengers' actions prevented an international crisis involving Israel, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, India, and other countries in the region. He criticized descriptions of the incident as a cockpit scuffle and said the political motivation remained unknown, including whether there had been outside coordination. The aircraft landed safely in Tabuk, and the passengers later returned to Israel on another passenger broke into the cockpit and pulled him away, while crew members restrained him with headset cords and later plastic ties. The attacker shouted, “Kill me, kill me,” while restrained descent of an aircraft carrying 174 people, and passengers intervening to help regain control.

The IDF rejected the propaganda film “Naza” (by Hamas' Euro-Med befriended Yuval Abraham since 2019) and said it presents a distorted and unrealistic account of how strikes in Gaza are planned, approved, and assessed. The IDF said its procedures distinguish between terrorists and civilians, prohibit attacks directed at civilians, and require commanders to minimize civilian casualties. It denied planning or conducting an attack in which 500 civilians or anything close to that number were expected to be killed. It also denied that artificial intelligence independently selects targets. Intelligence officers identify targets, professional bodies plan strikes, and operational commanders decide whether to carry them out. The IDF rejected the idea that predetermined civilian-casualty numbers automatically authorize strikes. It said Lavender assists intelligence researchers and is not a database of approved targets. Evacuation warnings do not authorize attacks on areas while disregarding civilians who remain there. The IDF said it examines strike results and unintended civilian harm, process involving operational planners, legal advisers, civilian-harm specialists, and commanders who approve or reject strikes. It said some interviewees presented assumptions without factual support and that the filmmakers omitted officials involved in reducing civilian harm and approving attacks. The IDF said the film also omitted the circumstances surrounding the war following the October 7 Hamas attack and what it described as Hamas's strategy of operating among civilians. It listed measures used to reduce civilian casualties, including warnings, weapon selection, changes to strike plans, humanitarian assistance, requests for civilian harm from an attack. Commanders use the assessment to determine whether a strike is lawful and whether additional precautions, changes, or cancellation are necessary. The IDF said the film portrayed these assessments as evidence of indifference to civilian life even though the assessments are required under international law. It acknowledged that soldiers and commanders face a significant moral burden when making decisions that could result in civilian deaths. It said this moral burden reflects the seriousness of those decisions rather than demonstrating that the decisions were unlawful or that discussion of civilian casualties requires an accurate account of how military decisions are made. It characterized the film as a simplistic manifesto driven by a clear agenda and said it used omissions, emotional manipulation, and dramatic effects to portray the IDF as inhumane. The IDF said it remains open to legitimate criticism, follows international humanitarian law, and uses procedures and dedicated mechanisms to reduce civilian harm. It acknowledged that mistakes and failures have occurred during the war and said suspected violations of international law or military orders are investigated and can result in disciplinary or criminal proceedings. The IDF also criticized the filmmakers for not submitting their material to the military for review before publication and for not providing the film afterward despite a request. The more limited legislation concerning Jewish and other religious observances. The criticism focused on what was characterized as unequal treatment of religious holidays and connected of miracles aided by divine assistance. Speaking at a Torah study session in the Knesset sukkah, he said the tradition of Jewish heroism tips the scales. The event included and that these assessments have led to hundreds of investigations and operational lessons.
