A FlyDubai Boeing 737 flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv has likely been hijacked, and Israeli Air Force fighter jets have reportedly been scrambled. FlightRadar24 showed the aircraft squawking an 7700 emergency code, before it rapidly dropped in altitude and speed. Netanyahu and Defence Minister #Israel Katz are currently holding an emergency meeting with senior Israeli officials. Israeli media reports that the aircraft is expected to land in Saudi Arabia in the next ~5 minutes.
