The two men responded after screaming ...

SHOCKING! Israel Had Flydubai Crew List Before Cockpit Attack; How Did Omani Co-Pilot Get Cleared?
Israel is facing fresh questions over its aviation security procedures after a report said Israeli authorities had received the crew list for Flydubai Flight FZ1073 before the aircraft departed Dubai for Tel Aviv. According to Haaretz, the Israeli Transportation Ministrys security department and Mossad are responsible for vetting non-Israeli flight crews and identifying potential security concerns. The Israel Tax Authority confirmed that it received the crew list, while the Transportation Ministry did not respond to questions about whether it had received the manifest or conducted its own screening. The issue has gained greater significance after the flights Omani co-pilot allegedly attacked Indian captain Smit Machchhar inside the cockpit. Passengers and two off-duty pilots reportedly intervened, helping regain control of the aircraft before it landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The UAE has since described the incident as an attempted terrorist act. Reports have also raised questions about the co-pilots previous employment history and whether he had earlier faced restrictions over alleged extremist views. One key question is now how the crew member was cleared to operate a flight carrying Israeli passengers into Israel, particularly given the reported restrictions on foreign flight crews. The investigation will need to establish whether relevant information was available to Israeli authorities, whether it was properly assessed, and whether any warning signs were missed before the aircraft took off
