Screaming ALLAH AKBAR, Pilot Stabs Captain, Tries to Crash Dubai Flight Carrying 150 Passengers in Midair Terror Attack

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.

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.

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.

Pilots in civilian clothes who were passengers landed the plane!

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)

A major disaster was avoided aboard a FlyDubai flight, an Israeli official tells i24NEWS.

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.”
