After he was stabbed he managed to click open the cockpit door and also send emergency alerts to authorities that the plane was being highjacked. According to reports, his Omani co-pilot allegedly stabbed him during an apparent attempt to crash the aircraft while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” But Captain Machchhar fought back like a lion. Despite being wounded, he reportedly struggled with the alleged attacker and shouted for help, alerting Israeli passengers who heard the commotion and rushed toward the cockpit. The Israeli passengers then joined the fight, helping overpower, subdue and tie up the alleged attacker. Video from aboard the aircraft shows Israelis administering first aid to the wounded Indian captain after the alleged attacker had been restrained. Captain Machchhar joined Flydubai in 2022 after spending nearly a decade flying for SpiceJet. He fought while injured. He raised the alarm. And his resistance reportedly gave passengers the opportunity to intervene. A TRUE HERO. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🫡 ❤️ JBN HAS CREATED A GOFUNDME TO HELP CAPTAIN MACHCHHAR AS HE RECOVERS FROM HIS INJURIES.

4:45 PM🇮🇱 CHILLS: Netanyahu Meets Israeli Hero Who Helped Save Plane From Alleged Hijacker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met one of the Israeli passengers who helped overpower the alleged hijacker aboard the Tel Aviv-bound flight. Still wearing clothes stained with blood from the ordeal, the passenger joked: Hero: “I feel bad. I asked ten times to change my bloody clothes before meeting you.” Netanyahu: “You’re a hero! How did you do it?” Hero: “We’re a nation of lions, aren’t we?” 🇮🇱 Am Yisrael Chai.

6:41 PM😱🗞️ OUTRAGEOUS: Watch CNN’s Max Foster downplay hijacking a mere “incident” and just “an internal personnel incident between pilots,” (as if that internal incident would have stayed internal and not affected anyone else had the plane crashed) as if to say, “Nothing to see here, folks” and then sew doubts. Then, hours later, he uploaded a second report sowing seeds of doubt and conspiracy, questioning how the plane didn’t crash and how Israelis could possibly have gotten into a “locked cockpit,” when he could have easily reported what everyone already knew: the wounded pilot unlocked the cockpit door, allowing them to enter. He ends by cautioning viewers that this account is “according to Netanyahu,” emphasizing who the information is coming from so beware, vs. framing it as actual news that happened. And CNN wasn’t alone. The New York Times, Washington Post and other major outlets similarly framed early reports as a mere squabble or “altercation” between pilots and focused on the plane just being diverted, rather than describing it as a hijacking. The entire tone and framing makes the story ripe for conspiracy theorists to jump on this and claim it was a false-flag incident.

They got up. They ran toward the danger. They fought. They helped the wounded. And they saved at least 174 lives. They were ordinary passengers who, in an extraordinary moment, chose courage over fear. 174 people made it home. 174 families got their loved ones back. Heroes of Israel. 🇮🇱 💪🏼
10:57 PM🌍🇮🇱✡️❤️ AN OPEN MIRACLE IN THE SKY: Jews All Over The World Celebrate From Jerusalem, Israel, to Binghamton, New York, and Jewish communities around the world, Jews are celebrating what many are calling an open miracle in the sky. Captain Smit Machchhar, wounded but determined, fought his way to the cockpit door. Even after being stabbed, he found one last ounce of strength to open it before collapsing, allowing passengers to take over the fight. That’s when Israeli passengers, led by plumber Yaniv Hayoun, sprang into action. They rushed toward the danger, subdued the attacker and fought to save everyone aboard. Yaniv then helped pull back on the controls and stabilize the plunging aircraft. His actions evoke Todd Beamer and Jewish passenger Jeremy Glick aboard United Flight 93, who helped organize the fight against the 9/11 hijackers. Beamer famously rallied the group with the words “Let’s roll.” Twenty-five years later, Yaniv and his team faced their own terrifying moment. We may never know exactly what was said, but you can almost imagine the Israeli version: “Yalla, let’s go!” So many things had to happen at exactly the right moment. The captain had to reach that door. The passengers had to run toward danger. And somehow, when seconds mattered, a plumber remembered a show he had once watched about what to do when a plane dives and used that knowledge to help stabilize the aircraft. And today, Jews around the world are thanking God for the miracle. In Jerusalem’s Old City, Jews can be seen singing MBD’s words: “Anachnu ma’aminim, b’nei ma’aminim…” “We are believers, children of believers, with no one to rely on except our Father in Heaven.” Thousands of miles away, students from Chabad of Binghamton and Binghamton University joined the celebration. Different places. One people. One song. One overwhelming feeling of gratitude. ANACHNU MA’AMINIM. B’NEI MA’AMINIM. ❤️🇮🇱✡️
6:00 AM🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇳 MUST WATCH: Trump Recounts Incredible Story Of A Hindu-Indian Pilot And Jewish Plumber Who Helped Save Dubai-To-Israel Flight President Donald Trump hailed the extraordinary actions of the wounded Indian captain and an Israeli plumber aboard the Flydubai flight from Dubai to Israel, recounting the dramatic story after speaking “at length” with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “I think it’s an incredible story,” Trump told reporters. According to Trump’s account, the co-pilot was “perhaps a terrorist or perhaps a whack job” who stabbed the captain as the aircraft began plunging toward the ground. Trump said the badly wounded captain still managed to summon enough strength to open the reinforced cockpit door and scream for help. Then came the Israeli plumber. Trump said the passenger, who had NEVER flown an airplane, heard the screams, rushed toward the cockpit and helped pull the attacker away from the controls. With the aircraft diving at a terrifying angle, Trump said the plumber grabbed the controls and managed to pull the plane up and level it out before disaster. And then came perhaps the most unbelievable detail. Asked how someone who had never flown an airplane knew what to do, Trump said the plumber explained that he watches the TV show “Air Disasters.” Trump repeatedly stressed that he was recounting what he had been told by Netanyahu and others, adding: “I don’t know if it’s true. But that’s the story that I got from Bibi and from a couple of other people.” An Indian captain who fought through his injuries to open the cockpit door. An Israeli plumber who ran TOWARD the danger and reportedly grabbed the controls despite never having flown a plane. And 174 lives that made it home. An absolutely incredible story of courage in the sky. 🇮🇱🇮🇳🇺🇸
6:01 AM📸⚾️ Pro-Pally Director Spike Lee Loses It After Fan Asks Him To Say “FK Palestine” During Selfie At Yankee Stadium Filmmaker Spike Lee erupted during a confrontation with a fan before the Yankees-Red Sox playoff game at Yankee Stadium. Lee had reportedly been posing for photos when a fan approached him for a selfie and asked him to say, “FK Palestine.” After a brief tussle, security intervened and Lee shouted, “Why’d you come over to me?” Security then intervened, telling the fan, “You’ve gotta go,” and escorted him from the area. The confrontation comes a few months after Lee drew attention at the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, where he wore a keffiyeh-patterned sweater along with Palestinian flag imagery on his bag strap and Palestine pins. The outfit attracted particular attention because Israeli star Deni Avdija was playing in the game, becoming the first Israeli selected as an NBA All-Star and it was seen as a provocation to that. Lee later denied that his clothing was intended as a message against Avdija or Jews, saying the Palestinian imagery reflected his concern for Palestinian civilians. *READ MORE: https://jewishbreakingnews.com/spike-lee-and-kyrie-irving-spark-outrage-over-pro-palestine-terror-garb-as-deni-avdija-makes-history-as-first-israeli-nba-all-star/

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dd8cdGzgZ-y/?stkn=MXF1bnoyMjFtMGZucg== Tens of thousands of Jews gathered at the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Sukkot morning for prayers and the traditional Birkat Kohanim, the Priestly Blessing. JBN was on the scene as worshippers from across Israel and around the world came together to daven, celebrate Sukkot, and take part in one of the holiday’s most powerful traditions.
8:20 AM😂🇮🇱✈️ NETANYAHU QUIPS: “If You’re Next Hijacked, Make Sure An Israeli Is Sitting Next To You.” That was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s quip after recounting the extraordinary actions aboard the Dubai to Israel flight. A plumber from Row 16 and a heroic Indian pilot may have just helped stop another 9/11. Netanyahu told Hannity that the co-pilot attacked Indian Captain Smit Machchhar, sending the aircraft carrying 174 people into a terrifying plunge. Despite being seriously wounded and bleeding heavily, Captain Machchhar fought back and managed to unlock the cockpit door, giving passengers and crew the opening they needed. That’s when Israeli passenger Yaniv Hayoun, sitting in Row 16 with his family nearby, ran toward the cockpit. Knocked off his feet as the aircraft lurched, he got back up and kept going. Hayoun and others rushed in, overpowered the attacker and helped regain control of the aircraft. Netanyahu later asked Hayoun how he found the courage. His family was on that plane. He simply had to act. Then Netanyahu asked what he did for a living. “I’m a plumber.” Captain Smit Machchhar and Yaniv Hayoun are heroes. One was already badly wounded but kept fighting. The other was an ordinary passenger who ran straight toward danger. Heroes don’t always wear uniforms. Sometimes one is flying the plane, and another is sitting in Row 16.

8:40 AM🤩🇮🇳🇮🇱* “I COULDN’T LET THEM DIE”: BLEEDING, BADLY WOUNDED AND TRAPPED ON THE FLOOR OF A PLUNGING PLANE, HERO CAPTAIN FORCES HIMSELF BACK UP — AND SAVES A PLANE FULL OF LIVES* He was badly wounded. He was lying on the cockpit floor. The plane was going down. And Captain Smit Machchhar wasn’t thinking about whether he would survive. He was thinking about everyone sitting behind that cockpit door. Speaking publicly for the first time, Machchhar told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi what went through his mind during those terrifying moments aboard the Tel Aviv-bound Flydubai flight. After being seriously injured, the veteran pilot collapsed to the floor as his co-pilot continued attacking him. For a moment, he wondered whether he would ever get back up. Then something inside him took over. “I realized that if I didn’t get up and act, no one else would.” Machchhar had been flying for 17 years and serving as a captain for 11. He knew his aircraft so well, he said, that he understood what was happening even with his eyes closed. And from that cockpit floor, he knew exactly what had to happen next. The door had to open. Despite his injuries, he somehow summoned enough strength to get up, reach it and give it one final push. “I knew that only one more push was needed to open the door.” It opened. The Israelis outside rushed in, restrained the attacker and did their part to help regain control of the aircraft. One push. One door. And an airplane full of lives suddenly had a fighting chance. But perhaps the most powerful part of Captain Machchhar’s story is what he says was going through his mind as he fought through his injuries: “I knew I couldn’t let the passengers die.” Bleeding on the floor of a falling airplane, unsure whether he would ever stand again, his thoughts were still with everyone else. That is courage. That is sacrifice. That is a hero. 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇱 Stay tuned for JBN’s interview with this heroic captain and go to our LINK IN BIO to donate to his GoFundMe NOW! https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-hero-pilot-recover 🚨 Don’t risk losing us in your feed.

1:46 PM🇮🇱🪠💪🏼❤️ DONATE TO YANIV THE PLUMBER’S OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN! Yaniv Hayun was an ordinary plumber, husband and father flying home when terror erupted in the cockpit. He ran toward the danger, helped overpower the co-pilot accused of trying to crash the plane, and pulled back on the controls at a critical moment, helping save everyone aboard. Now it’s our turn to show up for him. JBN has launched an official fundraiser to support Yaniv and his family as they recover from this traumatic ordeal and the disruption to his livelihood. Even $5, $18, $36 or $100 sends a message: Yaniv, you were there for them. Now we’re here for you. 🇮🇱❤️ 🔗 DONATE & SHARE: https://www.gofundme.com/manage/yanivtheplumber JBN is in direct contact with Yaniv regarding the campaign and transfer of funds.
