A video circulating online shows fires breaking out at Aramco Yanbu right now, following a Yemeni missile attack.
Yemen has the right to defend itself.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Breaking news now: An attack on the Abqaiq oil facilities in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province—the largest Saudi oil facility.
Just making sure I have today’s plot straight…
An Emirati captain and an Omani co-pilot are flying a flydubai plane from Dubai to Tel Aviv packed with Israelis.
The Omani co-pilot allegedly stabs the captain and tries to take control of the aircraft.
The plane plunges roughly 14,000 feet in under 30 seconds, squawks 7700 and then 7500, and Israeli fighter jets are scrambled because everyone thinks there’s a hijacking underway.
Cabin crew somehow get into the cockpit, passengers reportedly help restrain the alleged attacker, and the crippled aircraft ends up safely landing in Saudi Arabia without a rudder.
So now a plane full of Israelis who were supposed to be in Tel Aviv are sitting in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, mingling with locals and talking about God knows what while Saudi authorities investigate an alleged Omani hijacker and both pilots are in the hospital.
Meanwhile Israeli media have spent the morning cycling through approximately 17 different versions of what happened, including briefly telling everyone the pilots were Russian and Ukrainian.
Did I miss anything?
🇦🇪🇮🇱⚡️- The cause of this entire debacle was a physical altercation between the pilots aboard the FlyDubai plane. The situation is over. Nothing ever happens.
A passenger on the Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv says:
"We heard screams and saw blood. The pilot was stabbed. There were moments when we thought we weren’t going to make it out alive"
