MOTIVE NOT YET ESTABLISHED
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Friday that Israel was trying into whether or not the co–pilot had acted underneath anybody’s path, warning in a video assertion launched by his workplace that whoever was concerned would pay a “heavy worth”.
Many of the passengers on board had been Israeli nationals.
Netanyahu on Thursday stated that the co–pilot, whom he has recognized as an Omani nationwide, had undergone radical Islamist indoctrination and was clearly suicidal, however that to this point a motive for his actions had not been established.
Israel doesn’t have official diplomatic relations with Oman, and Netanyahu has stated pilots from such countries weren’t permitted to function flights to Israel. It was not clear how the co–pilot got here to be assigned to the flight to Tel Aviv.
The plane plunged some 16,625 ft in simply over 30 seconds because it flew over Saudi Arabia on the journey from the United Arab Emirates to Israel, according to information from flight tracker Flightradar24. The route is in style amongst Israelis.
