When You Don’t Follow The Rules…

Posted on by

In November 2020, Flydubai announced that it would begin direct flights between Tel Aviv and Dubai. According to the Jerusalem News Syndicate (JNS), the aviation agreement between the two countries required that pilots flying to Israel must hold passports from countries that have diplomatic relations with the Jewish state. It appears that the agreement was not honored on a recent flight where a hijacking was attempted.

On September 30, JNS reported:

The pilot of a passenger plane flying to Israel was stabbed several times by his co-pilot in the cockpit early Wednesday, according to officials — causing the aircraft to plunge 18,000 feet in what was feared to be a “terrorist attack in mid-air.”

The FlyDubai Boeing 737 Max 8 plane flying to Tel Aviv from the United Arab Emirates was cruising at around 34,000 feet when one of the pilots tried to take control in what Israeli sources say was an attempted hijacking, the Jerusalem Post reported.

“One pilot stabbed the other and tried to do 9/11,” an official told Channel 12 of the horror that saw Israeli fighter jets scrambled as a precaution. 

…The co-pilot apparently stabbed the captain several times before crew members and passengers managed to enter the cockpit door and overpower him, according to Segal (Israeli journalist Amit Segal).

“An extremely serious disaster was averted,” Segal quoted a senior Israeli official as saying.

The co-pilot was being questioned, as indications mounted that he intended to take control of the aircraft and crash it with the passengers on board, according to the official.

The article notes:

Israeli Transportation Minister Miri Regev demanded that all flydubai flights to Israel be suspended following the suspected terrorist attack aboard the Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight, according to Hebrew media reports.

Regev also asked the country’s Civil Aviation Authority to investigate whether the United Arab Emirates violated its aviation agreement with Israel. Under the agreement, pilots flying to Israel must hold passports from countries that have diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.

The co-pilot has been identified in unconfirmed reports as an Omani national. Israel does not have diplomatic relations with Oman.

Thank God there were two pilots who were traveling as passengers and were able to take control and stabilize the aircraft after the attacker was subdued.

Freeing The Lebanese People From Hamas

On Monday, The Jerusalem News Syndicate (JNS) posted an article about some recent Israeli Defense Force (IDF) activity in southwestern Lebanon.

The article reports:

The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday destroyed an underground Hezbollah complex in southwestern Lebanon containing hundreds of weapons and several rocket silos, the military said.

“The underground complex was constructed using technology and expertise provided by the Iranian terror regime,” according to the IDF announcement.

The operation in the Majdal Zoun area, some five miles north of the border with Israel inside the IDF-controlled security zone, was carried out after Jerusalem informed the United States, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

“Israel updated the United States and the American representative in Lebanon in advance regarding the destruction of the infrastructure,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz in a joint statement.

“The tunnel, which was over 200 meters [650 feet] long and more than 25 meters [80 feet] deep, contained hundreds of weapons and several launch silos intended to target the territory of the State of Israel and its citizens,” they noted.

“IDF commanders and fighters will remain in the security zone in Southern Lebanon and will continue to destroy terrorist infrastructure, remove threats to northern communities and safeguard the security of Israel’s citizens,” the statement concluded.

Also on Sunday, the IDF attacked three Hezbollah command centers and a launch pad in Southern Lebanon in response to the Iranian proxy’s violation of the truce agreement, the IDF stated separately.

Israel and Lebanon signed a U.S.-brokered framework agreement on Friday aimed at removing Hezbollah from Southern Lebanon and dismantling “associated infrastructure” in the area.

Before 1975, Lebanon was a peaceful nation where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in peace. It was a beautiful country before it was destroyed by terrorism and war. The war was caused in part by an influx of ‘Palestinian refugees’ (Islamists) who did not assimilate and eventually took over the government. The Lebanese people are not currently living in a country where they are in charge. They are living in a country run by a group of Islamists supported by Iran and determined to destroy Israel. That is what the tunnels are about. That is also the reason the current peace talks are currently between the Lebanese and Israel. Hezbollah is not involved in the peace talks.
