> Israel’s prime minister says the alleged hijacker was Omani, but Flydubai and the UAE government have not confirmed the pilot’s nationality. UAE prosecutors ordered an investigation, while Benjamin Netanyahu said it was too soon to say whether Iran was involved. Flydubai suspended Tel Aviv flights as cockpit security returned to focus, and the US may deploy an additional carrier and 10,000 troops to the Middle East.
