FLYDUBAI FLIGHT TO TEL AVIV DIVERTS TO SAUDI ARABIA
A flydubai flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv landed safely in Saudi Arabia after an onboard incident.

The aircraft landed safely, with no reported security threat to passengers.
Details are still developing.
Israel just scrambled fighter jets over a suspected hijacking of a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv.

Now it’s vanished from flight-tracking apps, and reportedly hasn’t made contact once since this started.
