What really happened aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073?

Two off-duty pilots onboard the Flydubai Boeing 737 MAX 8 helped the crew regain control after a cockpit stabbing incident, leading to an emergency landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Passengers reported screams and attempts by the co-pilot, reportedly Omani, to attack the captain with a knife, with some forcing open the cockpit door during the fight. The pilots were hospitalized, and Israeli authorities, including the Mossad and Shin Bet, are investigating whether it was a hijack attempt or terrorist attack.
