Developing story. From The Jerusalem Post

A flydubai commercial passenger aircraft flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv diverted to and landed in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning after what Israeli officials said was an attempted hijacking by one of the pilots that led to a mid-air altercation.
An Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post a “major disaster was narrowly avoided” amid growing fears that one of the pilots attempted to hijack the plane with the intention of crashing it into the ground. Additional flight crew, aided by Israelis on board the flight, managed to subdue the pilot and bring him under control, the official told the Post.

The growing assessment among the Israeli security establishment, including the IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), is that the incident was intended as an act of terror.

During the altercation, the aircraft plunged approximately 4,000 meters in altitude, the official noted.

The aircraft, operating as flight FZ1073 and carrying over 100 Israeli passengers, initially transmitted squawk code 7700, indicating a general emergency, before switching to 7500, which signals unlawful interference, and later reverting to the initial code.

As the incident unfolded, the Israel Air Force (IAF) scrambled fighter jets in preparation for a possible emergency and raised its alert level, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had convened a security meeting with defense officials, the Post learned.

"The incident is under control, and all measures are currently being deployed in order to return the Israeli passengers safely to Israel," the Prime Minister's Office said following the consultations.
Israeli airspace was also temporarily closed and later reopened after the plane landed in Saudi Arabia. It landed at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Airport, also known as Tabuk Airport, the airline confirmed.

Shortly before 4 p.m. on Wednesday, the flydubai plane sent to return the Israelis to Tel Aviv landed in Saudi Arabia, but most passengers refused to board, citing concerns that neither the aircraft nor the pilot were Israeli, eyewitnesses told The Jerusalem Post. The eyewitness added that the atmosphere was generally fearful, with children crying. 
Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir were also considering the possibility of dispatching Israeli military or civilian aircraft in order to bring the Israelis home, the Post learned.
