A Flydubai Boeing 737 MAX flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after sending distress signals, triggering fears of a possible hijacking. The incident prompted Israeli authorities to scramble fighter jets and hold security consultations. The aircraft landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, and everyone on board was reported safe. According to Israeli media reports citing security officials, the incident was linked to a dispute between the plane’s two pilots, rather than a hijacking. The situation raised initial security concerns as authorities responded to the emergency. (PC: HT)
