False hijacking alarm on Dubai-Tel Aviv flight prompts Israeli fighter scramble
Original: Il Fatto Quotidiano: Sospetto dirottamento di un volo da Dubai a Tel Aviv, si alzano caccia israeliani: ma era una lite
An aircraft flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv triggered a hijacking scare, leading Israel to scramble fighter jets. The alarm turned out to be false: a dispute between the Russian pilot and the Ukrainian co-pilot had raised suspicions the plane had been hijacked. Israeli media reported the jets were sent up as a precaution before the situation was clarified and the flight proceeded normally.
Why now: The dramatic response, with fighter jets scrambled over a feared hijacking, contrasts with the mundane cause of a cockpit argument, drawing wide attention.
