The plumber, Yaniv Hayoun, actually has the job of driving a huge sewage vacuum truck, the kind that is used to remove huge quantities of sewage. Hilarious that the next day at work, his truck wouldn’t start:

 

Credit to heroes aboard the flight: Captain Smit Machchhar (arm was almost severed by the axe, yet he opened the cockpit door), Tzvika Manes (banker and CEO of Bank Leumi’s underwriter company who attacked the terrorist and helped tie him with passenger’s headset wires), Yaniv Hayoun (the “plumber,”but really, sewage vacuum truck driver who had watched “Air Crash Investigation” on TV where he learned to pull up on the yoke),  Dr. Shota Mosayev (the dentist who stopped Smit’s bleeding), Asaf Majuan (insurance agency owner who helped keep the terrorist bound for 55 minutes), and Tzvika’s wife Tali Manes (the first to raise the alarm when she heard suspicious noises from the cockpit), but discredit to the government officials who failed in their jobs.  Excerpt from today’s editorial commentary in jpost:

There is a possibility that while this pilot lived and trained in Australia, he was radicalized at jihadist houses of prayer in Australia. See article excerpt:

Interrogators now know that the jihadist copilot intended to quietly disable or kill Captain Smit, and then crash the plane into Ben Gurion airport.  He ask Captain Smit for time to pray, which he did for 5 minutes, which ended when he struck Captain Smit on the back of his head with the emergency axe stored in the cockpit.³

The attacker, the Omani copilot, used a small knife, not an axe from the cockpit equipment to stab the Indian captain.

It was the Omani who opened the door, because he tried to kick the Indian Captain out of the cockpit in order to crash the plane alone without interference.

The heroic passenger interviewed below did not hear any “Alahu Akbar.”

Saudi Arabia deserves respect for taking care of the passengers, even without diplomatic relations with Israel.

Yet, Saudi Arabia refused entry to El Al and IDF military planes.

The deadheading pilots in the back were in shock, frozen, and required heavy shaking from the Israeli passenger, and once in the cockpit at the controls, only one of tbe two was any help to fly the plane.

Over 30 children were onboard.

Some of them said that they flew to the ceiling when the plane lost altitude.

Oman nearly joined the Abraham Accords, but did not quite do so before their premier passed away. As such, the Omani pilot should not have been on any crew flying to or from Israel, as Israel has agreements with all airlines that only pilots from countries with official relations with Israel will fly to Israel.

FlyDubai airline is a national government company owned by the United Arab Emirates.

One of the heroes, Yaniv, had been a cook in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). Today he saved his wife Meital, daughter Noa, and the other 174 souls (all Israelis) when he and other passengers subdued the copilot and took back control of the plane.

Israeli humor:

😝😝😝

The Israeli Defense Minister has named it an attempted jihadist attack on Israelis. The Israeli passengers stole the flight back from the crew member that hijacked the flight. Israeli passengers from the FlyDubai flight are due to arrive in Israel momentarily after their temporary emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

‘…And while Hamas did everything possible to keep Palestinian civilians in harm’s way, often at gunpoint, Israel did everything possible to get them out of harm’s way. We sent millions of text messages warning civilians to leave combat areas. We made millions of phone calls. We dropped millions of leaflets.

“I want to ask you some questions: What genocidal regime gives a million polio vaccinations to the enemy’s population? What genocidal regime enables the distribution of two million tons of food into Gaza? That’s a ton of food for every person!

“Accusing Israel of genocide is The Greatest Lie of the Century.” –Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, at the 2026 UNGA.

And of course Bibi wants the UAE to help him win the election.

Nevertheless, these are signs that the Middle East is uniting with Israel against Iran.

Ever-polite, but apparently racist: The Netherlands’ law went into effect. Goods from Israel not allowed to source from Judea or Samaria including East Jerusalem.

Why racist? Because every other nation, when attacked, gets to Keep territory won during their defense. Just not the Jews. Only the Jews receive no benefits nor protections from International Law.

Military strategists are aware of heightened risks; Palestinian Arabs have planned attacks on Jews during Succot.

Remember – the same conditions exists every holiday season, including the Succot over October 2023 leading up to the surprise attack on Simchat Torah at the end of Succot which in 2023, fell on Oct 7.
