Flydubai cockpit attack exposes Israel aviation security lapse

A cockpit attack on a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv has raised concerns about Israel's aviation security. Despite Israel's ban on pilots from countries without diplomatic ties, dozens of Omani pilots flew to Tel Aviv on flydubai flights. The co-pilot stabbed the captain mid-flight, but passengers intervened. The plane safely landed in Saudi Arabia with 182 people aboard, including eight crew members.
