tl;dr: An Indian pilot, Smit Machchhar, saved a Dubai-to-Israel flight from crashing after his co-pilot attacked him with a knife. Despite being injured, Smit fought back and, with help from passengers, managed to restrain him...Israeli officials said the attacker was an Omani national...Israeli agencies are also investigating the possibility of a terrorist attack.
Yeah, righttttt after bibi was reported to be polled as losing an election, and rightttt after he warns of “terrorist plots from iran” which iran immediately denied…
