A near catastrophe unfolded aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv when a violent cockpit confrontation reportedly sent the aircraft plunging thousands of feet over Saudi Arabia.

Passengers describe blood, screams and a desperate struggle for control of the aircraft. Israeli media report that one pilot allegedly attempted to crash the plane before passengers and crew intervened.

Flight FZ1073, carrying approximately 150 passengers, transmitted emergency signals, including squawk code 7500—the international aviation code for unlawful interference or hijacking.

The flight, carrying around 150 Israelis, suddenly plunged thousands of feet while flying over Saudi Arabia and transmitted emergency signals, including code 7500, indicating a hijacking.

A violent altercation took place inside the cockpit. Passengers describe hearing screams, seeing blood and one of the pilots being stabbed.

The passenger says Israelis aboard the aircraft then took control of the situation and apprehended the attacker.

The plane ultimately landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. All passengers are safe.

Israeli media are now reporting that one pilot deliberately attempted to crash the aircraft and was stopped by the other pilot, with passengers helping to subdue him

Muslim terrorists have repeatedly targeted commercial aviation, turning passenger aircraft into weapons of mass murder. From the September 11 attacks to the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253, jihadist terrorism has demonstrated a sustained interest in destroying civilian aircraft.
That history is documented.

Passengers described a terrifying scene: screams from the cockpit, blood, and reports that one pilot had been stabbed.

According to passenger testimony circulated by Israeli commentator Yoseph Haddad, Israelis aboard the aircraft helped overpower the terrorist.
“We are currently in Saudi Arabia. One of the crew members attacked the pilot with a knife and disabled the aircraft’s systems. Yaniv and another passenger stormed the cockpit and subdued the attacker. Luckily, there were two more pilots on board. They were the ones who managed to land the plane.”

Israeli media subsequently reported allegations that one pilot deliberately attempted to crash the aircraft and was stopped by the other pilot, with passengers helping to subdue him.

The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli security officials initially suspected terrorism. Reuters and the Associated Press, however, reported that Israeli authorities subsequently characterized the incident as a cockpit altercation rather than a confirmed hijacking.

The documented history of jihadist aviation terrorism

The history of Islamic terrorism against commercial aviation is extensive.

Surah 9:5 “Slay the nobelievers wherever you find them…”) is a foundational text for violent jihad in Islamic doctrine.

“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60)

“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)

“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)

“And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)

“They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)

“This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)

“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)

“Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)

“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)

“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray.” (Qur’an 47:4)

Israeli security officials initially feared an act of terrorism, and The Jerusalem Post reports that one pilot allegedly stabbed the other and attempted to seize control of the aircraft. However, Reuters and AP report that Israeli authorities subsequently described the incident as a cockpit altercation rather than a confirmed hijacking.

Quran 9:5, Quran 9:29, and Sahih Muslim 22:41a, are Quranoc passages that are invoked in militant interpretations of warfare.

More than 150 people were reportedly aboard an aircraft that plunged dramatically before making an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. All passengers were accounted for. That is the confirmed outcome of a potentially catastrophic incident.

 

Passenger testimony:

“We are currently in Saudi Arabia. One of the crew members attacked the pilot with a knife and disabled the aircraft’s systems. Yaniv and another passenger stormed the cockpit and subdued the attacker. Luckily, there were two more pilots on board. They were the ones who managed to land the plane.”

  3. Query: why was Egypt’s anti-semitic magazine called, “October”

    AI Overview

    Egypt’s weekly political magazine October (??????) was named to commemorate the October 1973 War (also known as the Yom Kippur War). [1, 2]
    Established in Cairo in 1976 under the direction of President Anwar Sadat and its founding editor-in-chief, Anis Mansour, the state-owned publication took its name from what Egypt celebrated as its defining military victory and national triumph against Israel. [1, 2, 3]
    Because the magazine was born out of wartime mobilization and nationalist sentiment following the conflict, it heavily featured anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic rhetoric. During this era and in subsequent decades, the government-backed publication frequently weaponized anti-Semitic tropes, conspiracy theories, and offensive caricatures to attack Israel and foreign adversaries, framing the press as a extension of the nation’s wartime defense. [1, 2]

    • Sadat’s Strategy: History in the making by Paul Eidelberg

      “Sadat has made it clear to his “internal”
      audience, i.e., those who read Arabic, that he is engaged in what is for the
      Arabs a new strategy to win the traditional Arab goal of Israel’s
      destruction. In a section of his memoirs published in October on
      September 11, 1977, two months before the peace initiative, Sadat wrote:
      “Al Qaddafi has chosen to make the same terrible mistake
      that Arabs committed several years ago when they rejected
      everything and anything—when the Arabs turned the word `
      no’
      into an idol which they worshipped, burned incense around,
      and in the process, burned all their bridges and were halted …
      all this because the Arabs pinned the fate of the Arab nation
      and three of its generations to the word ‘no.
      ‘ In the field of
      politics, just as in the field of sports, the best player is not the
      one who kicks the ball out of the playground every time he gets
      it. This is escapism; he prefers to escape from the situation
      rather than take the ball, maneuver it through his opponents
      and then score a goal.”11
      Notice Sadat makes no objection to Qaddafi’s goal, repeatedly trum-
      peted as the annihilation of Israel, but to the methods by which the goal
      has been pursued. On the contrary, in the same passage Sadat goes on to
      say that he tries to avoid getting involved in minor and peripheral battles
      precisely because the coming war with the Jews should be the only thing
      that preoccupies him, and he is unwilling to become distracted “from this
      confrontation which will be much more violent than the October War.”12
      There were other hints shortly before Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem that he
      was planning a new strategy. On September 3, 1977 Foreign Minister
      Fahmi (whose later resignation suggests that even he was not aware of
      the dramatic form the strategy would assume) argued against another
      Arab summit meeting.
      “The world is opposed to Israel’s actions in the territory—our
      main aim must be to exploit intelligently this international
      attitude. We must differentiate between the possible and the
      impossible; we must address the world in its own language and
      go with it as far as we can go… We must besiege Israel and
      isolate it internationally … It is absolutely not in our interest to
      allow Israel to escape from this impasse. We could raise issues
      which we know, without even thinking about it, that the world
      atmosphere is not prepared for—issues which would provide
      Israel with new arguments to convince sections of world public
      opinion that throughout the history of the conflict the Arabs
      have thought only about the destruction and elimination of
      Israel … Briefly it is not right…to allow Israel to escape the grip
      11
      of world society by raising ideas which would make the world
      forget Israeli extremism by pointing to what it might imagine to
      be Arab extremism …We must not take steps unless we are
      sure they bring us closer to our goal.13
      That the goal had not changed, merely the desirable method of achieving
      it, was emphasized by Sadat once again in September 1977, only weeks
      before his visit to Jerusalem.
      “The October War was only the spark that set off the conflict—a
      conflict that is as old as the Arab nation. This conflict started
      when we fought against the Tatars, and later, the Crusaders, in
      defense of our rights, land and honor. Today we are fighting
      against Zionism in defense of our land and values … Now after
      the October War we should never look back. In fact this
      struggle is not just a military conflict; it is a military, economic
      and political conflict. They are all links in the same chain.
      Therefore we must prepare ourselves for a prolonged conflict
      and all its relevant aspects.”14” pp. 10-11

        Query: sir herbert samuel was hailed as the first Jewish ruler of Jerusalem in 2000 yearsy

        AI Overview
        Sir Herbert Samuel was indeed widely described as the first prominent Jewish official to govern the historic Land of Israel and Jerusalem in two millennia when he became the first British High Commissioner in 1920.
        Background and Appointment
        • Role: Herbert Samuel served as the first British High Commissioner for Palestine from 1920 to 1925.
        • Historical Context: His appointment marked the first time a Jewish leader held top administrative governance over the region since the ancient Jewish revolts against Rome nearly 2,000 years prior.
        • Reception: The local Jewish community (Yishuv) initially greeted his arrival with great excitement and high expectations for the Zionist cause.

        Query: Two Ottoman defeats on Sept. 11

        AI Overview: “ AI Overview
        The two major defeats of the Ottoman Empire associated with September 11 are the Battle of Zenta on September 11, 1697, and the eve of the defeat at the Battle of Vienna on September 11, 1683.
        • The Battle of Zenta (September 11, 1697): Commanded by Prince Eugene of Savoy, the Habsburg Imperial forces launched a surprise attack against the Ottoman army led by Sultan Mustafa II while they were mid-crossing the Tisza River. The Habsburgs crushed the Ottoman forces, inflicting up to 30,000 casualties and capturing the imperial treasury. This disaster directly led to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, ending Ottoman dominance in Central Europe.
        • The Battle of Vienna Eve / Siege of Vienna (September 11, 1683): The major climax and breaking point of the Ottoman siege of Vienna occurred over September 11–12, 1683. While the decisive cavalry charge and allied relief led by John III Sobieski happened on September 12, the night of September 11 marked the desperate final hours of the siege where the defenders awaited what they feared was a final assault, leading to the catastrophic collapse of the Ottoman lines the following day.”

          Stalin goes to a psychic (or fortune teller) and asks, “When am I going to die?”
          The psychic gazes into the crystal ball and says, “You will die on a Jewish holiday.”
          Stalin panics and asks, “Which one?!”
          The psychic replies, “It doesn’t matter. Any day you die will be a Jewish holiday.”

          actually, he did die on Purim.

          AI Overview
          Joseph Stalin suffered his fatal stroke on March 1, 1953, which coincided with the Jewish holiday of Purim, and died four days later on March 5.
          Historical Context and the “Purim Miracle”
          • The Threat to Soviet Jewry: In early 1953, the Soviet Union was at the height of antisemitic campaigns, most notably the fabricated Doctors’ Plot, which falsely accused predominantly Jewish physicians of plotting to murder Soviet leaders.
          • Imminent Deportations: Historians and contemporary accounts note that Stalin was preparing mass show trials and the forced deportation of millions of Soviet Jews to remote camps in Siberia and Kazakhstan. Freight cars for the deportations were reportedly scheduled to begin moving in early March 1953.
          • The Stroke and Death: On Purim night (March 1, 1953), Stalin suffered a severe stroke at his dacha after collapsing. He lingered for several days before dying on March 5, with his death officially announced on March 6.
          • The Aftermath: Stalin’s sudden incapacitation and subsequent death halted the planned deportations and executions, leading many Jewish communities worldwide to view the timing as a modern-day deliverance akin to the salvation of the Jews in the biblical story of Esther against Haman.

  4. Query: for how long has every Jewish holiday been chosen by Islamist terrorists to commit attacks on Jews

    AI Overview

    Not every Jewish holiday has been targeted for attacks, but extremist groups have selectively timed assaults around major Jewish festivals for at least five decades to maximize symbolic and psychological impact. [1]
    According to security analyses by organizations like the Investigative Project on Terrorism, targeting religious holidays—including Jewish, Christian, and Muslim observances—is a tactic used by extremist networks to generate maximum media attention and disruption. [1, 2]
    Key Historical Examples
    1973 Yom Kippur War: A coalition of Arab nations led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise military attack against Israel on the holy day of Yom Kippur. [1]
    2002 Passover Seder Bombing: A Hamas suicide bomber attacked a holiday meal at the Park Hotel in Netanya, Israel, killing 30 civilians during Passover. [1]
    2023 Simchat Torah Attack: Hamas led a massive cross-border massacre in southern Israel on October 7, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. [1]
    Strategic Motives
    Visibility: Attacks during high-attendance or culturally significant days draw immediate global media coverage.
    Vulnerability: Gatherings at synagogues, public spaces, or family events during holidays present concentrated groups of people.
    Symbolism: Extremist groups exploit the religious significance of these dates to amplify the emotional and societal shock. [1, 2]

    • Good advice. Nor should Israelis fly with an Arab copilot. Weren’t there earlier reports of the usual “Allahu Akbar”? The passengers said the copilot wanted to do a 9/11 and now the Israeli gov’t is denying terrorism. Huh?

    • Especially on a Jewish holiday.

      “ AI Overview
      Sukkot 2026 begins at sundown on Friday, September 25, 2026, and ends at nightfall on Friday, October 2, 2026.
      Holiday Schedule
      • Start Date: Sundown on Friday, September 25, 2026
      • End Date: Nightfall on Friday, October 2, 2026
      • First Days (Yom Tov): Sundown on September 25 through nightfall on September 27 (work is traditionally forbidden)
      • Intermediate Days (Chol HaMoed): September 27 through October 2 (normal activities resume)
      • Concluding Holidays: Followed immediately by Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah through October 4, 2026”

      my comment: The Oct.7 massacre was on Simchat Torah 2023. This must be a time of hyper-alertness. I think it would behoove religious authorities to waive the no electronics rule in the interests of “saving a life” or, at least, waive the rule for at least one person in every family or gathering, just like it’s considered ok, I believe, correct me if I am wrong, for at least one person in a shul to be carrying a concealed gun.

      I came down with a bad chest and head cold on Friday, Sept. 11. I’m mostly better. I saw my doctor yesterday and she said I’d be completely over it in five days.

      That’s how apprehensive and upset I’ve been, which is what our enemies want. . Apparently, my body’s keeping score.

      Iran is firing missiles but everybody but Israel now.

      Every Jewish victory demoralizes and deters the enemy. The moral of the story? Always advance, never retreat, never apologize.

      Those heroic Jewish passengers may have not only saved themselves and the immediate targets of that hijacked plane (assuming this to have been another Sept 11 style hijacking attempt.)
