FlyDubai flight diverts to Saudi Arabia after reported fight between pilots

A FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Israel was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after an apparent altercation in the cockpit, raising concerns about a possible hijacking and prompting Israel to scramble fighter jets.
Israeli media outlets, citing security officials, said the incident stemmed from a fight between the commercial plane's two pilots and that everyone on board was safe after it landed in Tabuk, where there is a civilian airport adjacent to a Saudi military base.
