Netanyahu Threatens Severe Response Over Alleged Flydubai Cockpit Attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says any state or group found to have directed the alleged attack on a Tel Aviv-bound Flydubai flight will face a severe response. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after its Omani co-pilot allegedly attacked the Indian captain and attempted to crash the plane. Passengers and off-duty crew members reportedly helped restrain the suspect after the injured captain opened the cockpit door. Israeli authorities say they are investigating whether the suspect acted alone or was sent by another party. Officials from Israel, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United States are reportedly involved in the investigation, while claims of Iranian involvement have not been independently confirmed.
