An Israel-bound commercial flight diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, on Sept. 30, 2026, after an alleged cockpit attack.
According to The National Desk, the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to crash the aircraft before passengers and crew forced their way into the cockpit and restrained him.
Authorities said the plane made an emergency landing in Tabuk, where Saudi authorities took the suspect into custody. All passengers survived.
The Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight carried about 174 people, and off-duty pilots helped stabilize the aircraft before landing, according to the outlet.
Israeli officials described the incident as an attempted jihadist attack thwarted by passengers. No additional details were immediately released.
