A passenger on the Dubai to Tel Aviv flight: “I tied the terrorist's hands with some headphones”

An Israeli passenger on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, Shota Musaieb, began recording with his phone as the plane suddenly descended rapidly. He initially didn't think it was an attack but wanted to gather evidence in case something went wrong. Later, he realized it was an attack and ran to the front of the plane. The plane was diverted to Saudi Arabia and eventually landed at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport.
