🚨 SAUDI AUTHORITIES CONFIRM: Both pilots aboard the flydubai flight diverted to Tabuk were injured and hospitalized.
Tabuk Airport authorities said the Tel Aviv-bound aircraft landed at 9:45 a.m., and “its captain and copilot were found to have injuries and were transported to hospital.”
Saudi authorities did not say how the pilots were injured or characterize the incident as terrorism. Israeli officials, however, are investigating reports that the copilot attacked and stabbed the captain before allegedly attempting to crash the aircraft.
Passengers reportedly overpowered and restrained the alleged attacker.
