Israeli passengers aboard a diverted Flydubai flight described their experience as a “nightmare”, according to Al Jazeera.
The flight was diverted after a pilot was reportedly stabbed. The supplied report does not identify the flight number, the diversion location or the person accused of the stabbing.
Further details in background material identify the flight as FZ1073, travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv, and say it diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Those details are not confirmed in Al Jazeera’s report.
The background material also attributes to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a claim that the pilot tried to crash the aircraft. The supplied report does not independently confirm that allegation.
