*🚨🚨BREAKING – INITIAL REPORT:* A Flydubai flight from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv carrying more than 100 Israeli passengers was diverted into Saudi airspace after activating an emergency code used to signal possible unlawful interference, raising fears of a potential hijacking.
Israeli Air Force jets were scrambled, and the aircraft has since changed course back toward Israel but remains in Saudi airspace. It is currently unclear whether it will be permitted to land in Israel until authorities determine what is happening on board. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz are holding an emergency consultation with senior defense officials.
