An Israeli passenger aboard the Flydubai flight that made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia says one of the pilots attempted to stab the other during the violent altercation. “We heard screams and saw blood. The pilot was stabbed. There were moments when we thought we wouldn’t get out of there alive,” she told i24NEWS. She says Israeli passengers intervened, restrained the alleged attacker and brought the situation under control. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office released a statement saying the incident is under control and that all available measures are being taken to safely return the Israeli passengers to Israel.
