A flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was diverted to Saudi Arabia's Tabuk after a physical altercation between the pilot-in-command and co-pilot. A passenger recalled having to shake two additional pilots, who initially froze, to take control as the plane was diving. Israeli passengers removed the attacker from the cockpit, allowing one pilot to regain control. The incident was reported by The Jerusalem Post editor Zvika Klein.
