  "summary": "Israel has vowed to investigate an apparent attempt to crash a flydubai passenger plane. The incident occurred on Wednesday on flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv. According to the Daily Times, an initial assessment suggested the co-pilot acted alone, and no motive has been established for the incident so far.\n\nThe Jerusalem Post reported that the pilot who attempted to crash the plane allegedly stabbed the second pilot. Passengers and crew intervened to subdue the attacker before the plane diverted safely to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The plane, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, had 174 passengers on board.\n\nThe PBS NewsHour reported that the suspect, an Omani citizen, was under arrest. Saudi authorities were working with countries, including Israel, to try to determine a motive. The Jerusalem Post also reported that antisemitism watchdogs observed online conspiracy theories accusing Israel of orchestrating a false flag operation beginning to circulate on social media just over an hour after the incident.",
