The Prime Minister of Israel invites the injured Indian captain to visit Israel and commends him for resolving the flight ax attack crisis.

(Central News Agency, Tel Aviv, Comprehensive Foreign Reports on the 3rd) A Dubai Airlines flight bound for Tel Aviv was attacked by the co-pilot with an ax. The injured captain still managed to resolve the crisis. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu today invited the Indian captain to visit Israel as a distinguished guest.

Agence France-Presse reported that Benjamin Netanyahu said he hopes Indian pilot Smit Machchhar and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi can jointly light the torch at the national ceremony of Israel's National Day in May next year. He noted that this honor is usually reserved only for Israeli citizens.

Netanyahu said during a phone call with Machar, who was hospitalized for treatment, "You are the true hero of the two brave nations of India and Israel, and a hero of the world," and released a relevant video through the Prime Minister's Office.

Reuters reported that Flydubai flight number FZ1073 flew from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30, carrying more than 170 passengers and crew. After entering Saudi Arabian airspace, the plane suddenly turned sharply and dived sharply twice. The most violent one dropped more than 16,000 feet in more than 30 seconds, and then stabilized.

The plane then issued an emergency and "illegal interference" distress signal, changed its course in Jordanian airspace, and finally diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia.

During the dive of the plane, the injured captain still managed to open the cockpit door, let the passengers into the cockpit and subdued the co-pilot; then a passenger helped stabilize the plane, and the two vacation pilots on board took over the control and landed safely.

United Arab Emirates investigators said the "terrorist act" was planned by the co-pilot, who used an ax in the cockpit intended for emergency use to attack Machar.

Agence France-Presse reported that when asked about the incident, Machar said that the co-pilot had asked to spend time praying, and devout Muslims pray five times a day. "It is not surprising that many local employees pray. When he prayed, out of respect, I only looked forward and did not look behind."

"About 4 to 5 minutes later, I was suddenly hit hard on the back of the head. I thought the plane had been seriously damaged and realized something was wrong."

"But then, the attacks came one after another. That's when I realized that the problem was not the plane, but another person in the cockpit with me."

Machar said his memory was unclear due to his injuries, but he managed to open the cockpit door, "but I think he closed it again."
