All Israel News Editor-in-Chief Joel C. Rosenberg reports on the dramatic mid-air incident aboard Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Israeli officials say an Omani co-pilot stabbed the Emirati captain in what is increasingly assessed as a possible terror attack aimed at crashing the plane carrying more than 100 Israeli passengers (including children).

The aircraft transmitted emergency and hijacking codes, plunged thousands of feet, and diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israeli passengers and crew helped subdue the attacker. All passengers are safe. Israel scrambled fighter jets as the situation unfolded.

A major disaster was narrowly avoided. Stay tuned for the latest details and how you can pray.
