Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz:

The serious incident on the FlyDubai plane was an attempt at a jihadist attack, which was only thwarted 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 present. According to the initial information we have, the terrorist's intention was one: to crash the plane with all its passengers on board.

It was a 9/11 style TERRORIST ATTACK By TERRORIST, an Omani Pilot. He stabbed his co-pilot an Indian who despite being stabbed, was brave enough to open the cockpit door and activate the emergency distress signal.

The Assignment was to Crash the Plane filled with ISRAELIS.
30 Children were on that plane.

It took Brave ISRAELIS passengers to Neutralize the Co- Pilot Terrorist while a British pilot was the one who stabilized the nose-diving plane and landed it safely.

The GOD of ISRAEL disappointed the TERRORISTS.

A GREAT MIRACLE TOOK PLACE TODAY!

DRAMATIC FOOTAGE:
An Israeli passenger aboard the Flydubai flight recorded this video:

“We’ve now subdued the terrorists. We’re about to land. Anyone who can hear me, we need help. We’re descending into Tabuk, apparently somewhere in Saudi Arabia, an unfamiliar, unknown area. Everyone on the plane is safe and sound except for the pilot. We need help.”

For the first time in over 20 years, someone has tried to hijack a plane bound for Israel.

Miraculously, the attacker, an Omani pilot, was overpowered before he could complete his mission.
The entire region held its breath as the morning Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv sent an emergency signal, flashed the hijack code and appeared to veer off course over Saudi airspace. The region then exhaled, almost with a chuckle, when early reports blamed a scuffle between the two pilots. That laughter quickly died as security assessments and passenger testimony revealed that the co-pilot had repeatedly stabbed the captain. The terrorist then seized the controls and pointed the plane toward the ground, dropping almost 20,000 feet in just over a minute, until several crew members and passengers forced their way through the cockpit door and subdued him. Many were injured in the process. The plane made an emergency landing in Tabuk, in northwestern Saudi Arabia, where the passengers are now waiting for Israel to bring them home.
The assailant’s specific motive and affiliation are still unconfirmed, but Israel is treating the incident as terrorism.

Between 1968 and 1976, Palestinian groups attempted or carried out 16 hijackings, and roughly as many attacks on other aviation targets, hitting El Al offices and passengers at the airports in Athens, Brussels, Istanbul and Rome. An El Al jet flying the Israeli flag made an unmistakable national symbol.

The defining image of the era was an isolated plane sitting on a foreign tarmac, its window shades drawn, surrounded by police and soldiers, while hostage negotiations dragged on for days. The aim was to isolate Israel, reach a global audience and strike fear into Israelis, and it succeeded on all three counts.

The era’s most dramatic hijacking, and effectively its last against Israel, came in 1976. Palestinian and German terrorists seized an Air France flight from Tel Aviv and landed it in Entebbe, under the protection of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. The daring rescue that followed has been adapted into several films and has become a canonical moment in Israeli culture. In practical terms, it gave the West an alternative to capitulation, which it had been ignominiously practicing for years, and a credible threat of rescue made hijacking a far less attractive gamble.

But the biggest factor in ending the scourge was also the most mundane. After the 1972 massacre at Lod Airport, in which 26 people were killed, the Shin Bet turned Israel’s international airport into a fortress, with metal detectors, X-ray machines, surveillance cameras, a pressure chamber for checked luggage, a vehicle checkpoint at the entrance and armed guards. Israeli standards soon became the global norm, and terrorists came to realize that the risk involved in hijacking planes was greater than the chances of success. At least where Israel was concerned, they gave up the method altogether.

But it was not the avenging fist of the Israeli Air Force nor a heroic rescue by special forces that foiled today’s threat. It was the courage of everyday Israelis. There was a very real and tragic possibility that I would be writing an entirely different article today. With the captain barely hanging on to life, a damaged steering system and a damaged wing, it was only by the bravery of a handful of passengers and crew that almost 180 lives were saved. Today, on the fifth day of Sukkot, we will recite the words of Hallel with extra fervor: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Another 9/11 style terror attack was miraculously avoided today!

Song of Praise for the Lord’s Faithfulness to His People

A Psalm of Thanksgiving.

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations”

(Psalm 100)
