WorldFlydubai attack: Questions grow as Israeli sources cite Gaza motive

Israeli sources say the co-pilot accused of attacking the captain on flydubai Flight FZ1073 acted alone and told investigators he was retaliating for the Gaza conflict and wanted to die a martyr. The aircraft plunged after leaving Dubai, but the captain and others restrained him; reserve pilots landed it in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The incident has sparked a dispute in Israel over responsibility for screening foreign crew.
