What we know about the Dubai-Israel plane incident after reported stabbing

I READ THE WHOLE THING SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO, AND THIS HAPPENED ON A FLYDUBAI FLIGHT FROM DUBAI BOUND FOR TEL AVIV CARRYING ABOUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY PEOPLE, MOSTLY ISRAELI, WHICH HAD TO DIVERT AND LAND AT TABUK AIRPORT IN NORTHEASTERN SAUDI ARABIA AFTER SQUAWKING A HIJACKING ALERT AND DROPPING OVER SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FEET IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. AND THE THING IS, THE SAUDI AIRPORT OWNER SAYS THE CAPTAIN AND FIRST OFFICER WERE BOTH INJURED AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, WITH ISRAELI BROADCASTERS CITING AN OFFICIAL SAYING ONE PILOT ALLEGEDLY STABBED THE OTHER BEFORE BEING RESTRAINED, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE PASSENGERS ALSO DESCRIBED CHAOS AND A KNIFE ATTACK, AND POLICE OR INVESTIGATORS HAVE NOT CONFIRMED A MOTIVE YET.

SO THEY HAVE FINALLY ADMITTED IT WAS AN ALLEGED STABBING IN THE COCKPIT ACCORDING TO ISRAELI OFFICIALS, AND WHAT PEOPLE GET WRONG IS THINKING THIS WAS JUST A NORMAL DIVERSION, BUT THE FLIGHT DROPPED OVER SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FEET IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES OVER SAUDI ARABIA AND SQUAWKED CODE SEVEN FIVE ZERO ZERO FOR HIJACKING, AND THE THING IS, THE SAUDI AIRPORT CONFIRMED BOTH THE CAPTAIN AND FIRST OFFICER WERE INJURED AND TAKEN TO HOSPITAL, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE ISRAELI BROADCASTERS REPORTED AN OFFICIAL SAYING ONE PILOT STABBED THE OTHER BEFORE BEING RESTRAINED, AND PASSENGERS ARE DESCRIBING TOTAL CHAOS WITH PEOPLE RUNNING TOWARD A MAN WITH A KNIFE, SO NOW POLICE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES STILL HAVE NOT RELEASED OFFICIAL STATEMENTS, AND THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE ATTACK REMAINS UNKNOWN.

A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv diverted to Saudi Arabia after a reported stabbing in the cockpit injured the captain and first officer.
