Pilot fight on the plane flying from Dubai to Israel: Emergency and hijacking signal given

According to the news of Channel 12 television broadcasting in Israel, while the plane taking off from Dubai was flying over Jordanian airspace, it first sent the code "7700", indicating a general emergency, and then in a short time, the code "7500", indicating the hijacking of the plane.

'IT WAS DIRECTED TO SAUDI ARABIA'

Following the signals, it was reported that warplanes belonging to the Israeli Air Force took off towards the passenger plane. The plane, which circled in the skies of Jordan for a while and was stated to have 180 people on board, including approximately 100 Israeli citizens, was then directed towards Saudi Arabia.

'TWO PILOTS FIGHTED'

Channel 12 television later announced that it was determined that two pilots flying the passenger plane had a fight. In the statement made by the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, it was stated that the incident was not an attempt to hijack a plane.

'HE WAS GOING TO MAKE A SUICIDE FLIGHT'

However, Channel 12 claimed that one of the pilots was Russian and the other was Ukrainian. It was also claimed that the pilot boarded the plane saying he was "going to make a suicide flight".

'HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS'

On the other hand, Israeli media reported that the plane in question landed in Saudi Arabia and no security incident was detected. It was also reported in the press that one of the pilots lost consciousness during the fight, so an emergency code was sent.

Yedioth Ahronot newspaper reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with senior security officials for consultations after the plane carrying many Israeli passengers sent an emergency and hijacking signal.

'WE SAW HIM STABBED WITH A POCKET KNIFE'

Israeli Police Commissioner Danny Levy said that he ordered the establishment of a joint command center with various security units regarding the incident and that they were "prepared for all kinds of scenarios."

According to passenger statements on the plane published by the Times of Israel, "One pilot tried to crash the plane, but the co-pilot stopped him with the help of the passengers. When the cockpit door opened, we saw one of the pilots stabbed with a pocket knife."

'FIRST IMAGE FROM THE PLANE'

In one of the images claimed to be from inside the plane, it was stated that one of the passengers intervened in the pilot who was stabbed while his shirt was seen covered in blood.

THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL

It was stated in the statement that the captain pilot and co-pilot were found to be injured, and that the two pilots were sent to the hospital. No other details were given in the statement made by the airport.
