Flydubai Co-Pilot Suicide Attack Plot on Ben Gurion Airport

A Flydubai co-pilot, identified as an Omani national, plotted a suicide attack on Ben Gurion Airport, inspired by extremist content and 9/11. The plot involved hijacking a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight on September 30 and crashing it into a terminal, but was reportedly thwarted by the captain. While UAE authorities confirm a co-pilot plotted a suicide attack, specific details regarding the target, method, and the extent of the plot's execution remain partially confirmed or alleged.
