Updated On: 06 October, 2026 09:30 PM IST

A major probe is underway after a chilling incident aboard a flydubai flight bound from Dubai to Tel Aviv, with investigators examining allegations that co-pilot Al-Hammami had previously considered crashing a passenger jet into Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. The case has now drawn the attention of Shin Bet investigators as the UAE-led probe examines the alleged terror plot, the co-pilot’s reported motives and what happened inside the cockpit. According to the allegations under investigation, Al-Hammami had searched for airlines operating flights to Israel and allegedly considered hijacking and crashing an earlier Tel Aviv-bound aircraft before joining flydubai. Investigators are also examining claims that he cited “revenge for Gaza” and a desire to die as a martyr during questioning.
