Israel orders flight security review after co-pilot attack attempt

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a comprehensive security review of all international flights arriving in Israel. This directive follows an incident where an Omani co-pilot allegedly attempted to crash a flydubai flight en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv. The review, led by the head of the National Security Council, aims to address security lapses that allowed the co-pilot to carry out the attack, which also involved stabbing the aircraft's captain.
