Terrorism

From the averted flydubai hijacking to multifront threats, Israeli action is not aggression, but the resolve of a people determined to fight for their own survival.

US president recounts dramatic version of attempted hijacking, saying an Israeli plumber helped subdue the co-pilot - but cautions: "That’s the story that I heard. I don’t know if it's true."

Israel is a small country, and in moments like these it feels smaller still. People who have never met became “our passengers.” Their survival was a national relief.

The additional pilots were added to the flight because possible regional rerouting could extend the journey and push the original crew beyond permitted duty hours.

Bukhaiti highlighted that, unlike the Taliban, the Houthis lack a large support base and remain a minority movement able to continue operating by exploiting “chaos and divisions" of other actors.

The real standout, in this nightmare, has to be the brave Israelis who stormed the flydubai cockpit and were covered with blood once they took down the knife-wielding terrorist.

The attacker was trying to push the other pilot out, apparently to take control alone. Israeli passengers sitting near the front rushed toward the struggle.

Three Hamas brigade commanders have been killed since September 11, following the September 2 capture of senior Hamas security official Mu'in al-Arabid in Gaza.

The three were "illegally entering Vietnam to conduct terrorist and sabotage activities,"Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security said.
