# Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the security services to prepare for additional potential threats. This comes after an Israel-bound Flydubai flight was diverted to Saudi Arabia yesterday after one pilot stabbed another pilot and apparently tried to crash the plane. Passengers and crew subdued the assailant, who was arrested. A replacement Flydubai flight carrying most of the stranded passengers landed in Tel Aviv yesterday evening. Israeli Defence minister, Israel Katz says the incident was an “attempted jihadist terror attack”.
