Flydubai Hijack Attack Probe: Israeli Investigators Expected To Join UAE-Led Investigation

The investigation into the dramatic Flydubai cockpit incident is entering a new phase, with Israeli investigators expected to join the UAE-led probe into the events that unfolded aboard Flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The development comes after initial findings from Saudi authorities reportedly indicated that the Flydubai co-pilot assaulted the captain before the aircraft made its emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The incident left Captain Smit Machchhar injured but the aircraft landed safely, preventing what authorities describe as a potentially catastrophic situation.
