*RESCUE FLIGHT ARRIVES:* A replacement flydubai aircraft has landed at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia to bring the stranded passengers — most of them Israeli — back to Israel following the terrifying mid-air incident. Passengers have begun boarding the new aircraft after their original flight was forced to make an emergency landing when the copilot allegedly stabbed the captain in a suspected attempt to crash the plane. Israel had sought to send its own rescue aircraft, but Saudi approval apparently was not granted.
