BREAKING: WSJ reports the FlyDubai co-pilot who stabbed his captain and sent Flight 1073 diving toward the ground had previously been banned from flying by Oman over concerns he had adopted radical ideological views. • “Despite the ban, the pilot, an Omani national, was hired by FlyDubai, the people said, allowing him to pilot on the sensitive route connecting the United Arab Emirates and Israel.  • It couldn’t be determined whether Oman shared concerns about the pilot’s radicalization with other countries or airlines. The nature of his radicalization couldn’t be learned.”

FlyDubai Attack: New Details: • The terrorist co-pilot reportedly planned the attack for months, using previous flights into Ben Gurion to gather intelligence. He allegedly planned an earlier attempt in July but backed out because a friend was among the crew, this is reportedly based on investigator interviews with him in the UAE. • Investigators say his plan was to kill the captain, continue toward Israel normally and wait until receiving landing clearance before crashing into a building or aircraft at Ben Gurion. A separate report says a Tel Aviv skyscraper was the intended target. • The attacker had reportedly flown the Tel Aviv route several times, yet Israel had no security warning on him, and was reportedly unaware his previous employer, Oman Air, had barred him from flying over radicalization concerns. • Passengers said they didn’t know whether other crew members were involved and kept close watch over them for the remainder of the flight. Investigators have not established that other crew members participated in the plot. • Investigators reportedly believe the co-pilot had been radicalized into Al-Qaeda ideology, although the current assessment is that he decided to carry out the attack himself. • A pro-Al-Qaeda publication praised the attack and called for copycat attacks against Americans and Israelis aboard planes r’l.

President Trump once again congratulated FlyDubai hero Yaniv Hayoun, and said “He can be my plumber.” Trump released the video on Truth and TikTok where he also proclaimed him a “Trump fan.”

White House monitors suspected Russian plague outbreak: • The White House is monitoring reports of a suspected plague outbreak in Russia’s Irkutsk region after a 28-year-old worker at an anti-plague institute died following an alleged exposure to pneumonic plague. • Several hospitals have been quarantined, while nearly 200 people who had contact with the woman have been placed under medical observation. • Irkutsk Gov. Igor Kobzev said those being monitored have tested negative and are showing no signs of illness. • Multiple sources, including local media and town authorities, reportedly deleted posts referring to the incident.

Full interview with subtitles: Israeli FlyDubai hero Yaniv gives his first hand account of the attack. Here are some outtakes: • Yaniv was sitting in Row 11 with his wife and daughters when he heard a woman near the front screaming about a stabbing. Moments later, the plane violently rolled and he realized the commotion was coming from the cockpit. • He yelled “Buckle up!” and ran forward. About six feet from the cockpit, the plane suddenly nosedived. Yaniv says he was thrown around the cabin and pinned against the floor by the force. The roughly 30-second dive reportedly cut the aircraft’s altitude nearly in half. • When the plane leveled somewhat, Yaniv reached the cockpit. He moved a crew member away from the door, opened it and found the wounded captain on the floor. Inside, the terrorist was kneeling between the pilot seats and smashing the instrument panel. • Yaniv entered, grabbed the terrorist by the throat and pulled him away from the controls. Other Israeli passengers took over restraining him, eventually tying him with headphone cables. • Seeing the aircraft still pointed downward and the ground ahead, Yaniv leaned over the empty pilot seat, grabbed the controls and pulled the nose upward. Seconds later, another pilot arrived and told him, “Release the controls, I’ll take it.” • Yaniv remained in the cockpit to watch the replacement pilot and crew member, while other Israelis guarded the remaining flight crew because they still didn’t know whether anyone else was involved. They only relaxed once the plane safely landed roughly 40 minutes later. • The landing turned into a celebration with passengers singing and cheering. Asked what military training prepared him for this, Yaniv joked that in the army he had worked “closest to the fire — in the kitchen.” • FlyDubai compensation or contact afterward? “Nothing.” Would he fly again? “Sure.” When does he want to return to work? “Sunday.”

“We have a new policy right now:” Israeli Passengers who helped avert disaster aboard a FlyDubai flight tell CBS News how they took control of the situation.

More details revealed: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu held a phone conversation with the hero Indian pilot from the flyDubai flight, Captain Smit Machchhar and told him: • "You are a hero for Israel, India, and the entire world. I invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi and you to light a flame on Israeli Independence Day." • During the emotional conversation that took place this evening, the Prime Minister asked Captain Machchhar how it all started, and Machchhar revealed new details about the terrifying moments in the cockpit including how the terrorist pilot was praying behind him for several minutes before he suddenly began attacking Machchhar.

IDF to overhaul intelligence, force readiness after October 7 investigations– • The IDF will expand its forces and prepare for surprise attacks on multiple fronts without advance warning, as part of a new approach developed from investigations into the October 7 failures. • The changes were among the main conclusions presented Sunday at a conference of the IDF's senior command staff, including Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. • Under the changes, the IDF will base its readiness on what its enemies are capable of doing rather than assessments of what they intend to do. • The military will also increase the number of forces kept on alert and in reserve, strengthen the defense of border communities, expand commanders' freedom of action in the field, and overhaul elements of its intelligence and warning systems.

US pressure on Israel harmed talks with Hamas to release hostages, Biden advisor admits • Former Biden Middle East adviser Brett McGurk revealed public U.S. pressure on Israel during the Gaza war proved counterproductive and hardened Hamas’s negotiating position. • McGurk writes that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar likely understood that tensions between Biden and Netanyahu were escalating and saw an opportunity to hold firm. • McGurk, who helped lead efforts to broker a ceasefire and hostage deal, said Hamas bears most of the blame for the prolonged war and repeatedly blocked progress in negotiations. • He said the November 2023 ceasefire collapsed after seven days when Hamas refused to release young women it was still holding, while later talks stalled over Hamas’s demand to remain in power. • McGurk says the change in behavior from Hamas only changed after the IDF launched its Rafah offensive, and the subsequent killing of Hamas arch terrorist Yahya Sinwar y"m.

3 YEARS: Israel, Jewish communities worldwide and world leaders are marking 3 years since the October 7 massacre, remembering the victims, honoring the fallen and reflecting on the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

Israel has officially declared the roadside bomb shelters where dozens were massacred on Oct. 7 as national heritage sites. • The shelters, where 90 people were murdered and five abducted, will now be legally protected from demolition, removal, repainting or alteration, preserving them as permanent “living testimony” to the massacre and acts of heroism that took place there.

Rows of human figures were laid out along Tel Aviv's Beach, representing the more than 1,200 people killed and abducted during the October 7 attack. A message beside the display read: "October 7 – the price of the failure."

Outrage pours in on sick Mamdani statement on Oct. 7th: Social media erupted minutes ago as Mayor Mamdani outdid his reputation for hating Israel and issued a revolting statement marking the third anniversary of the Oct. 7th massacre by Hamas. • Dancing on Jewish blood, Mamdani paid lip service to the “horrific war crimes” of the day, before launching a frontal attack on Israel, falsely blaming it for a “devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza.” His post was ratioed by thousands of posts attacking his decision to pour salt on the wounds of the Jewish people on this day. Many compared him to how his predecessor, Eric Adams, stood with the Jewish people on that day. • Mamdani has long been known for his hatred of Jews, and he has said that it was support for violence against Israel that galvanized him to politics. Yet, he has retained a small cadre of Jewish supporters who ignore his steady mix of holding up Israel as an illegitimate state and pretending to protect Jewish New Yorkers. • Just yesterday, Mamdani deliberately minimized the growing antisemitism in the city, stating that antisemitic hate crimes are up 1.2%, while anti-Muslim hate crimes shot up 77%, anti-Hispanic hate crimes are up 83% and gender-based hate crimes are up 122%. Just minutes later, Police Commissioner Tisch put int in real terms, stating that “the most striking trend continues to be antisemitic hate crimes,” which made up 53% of all cases, “despite Jews making up only roughly 10% of the city's population."

“If you take 1,200 Israelis [massacred on October 7] and apply it to the United States, that'd be 50,000-100,000 people dead in a morning! Can you imagine what we would do?" - Gen. Mark Milley, Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Officials around the world mark Oct. 7th Massacre: Heads of state, governors, elected officials and governments around the world commemorated the third anniversary of the Oct. 7th massacre by Hamas today, the secular date when it occurred. Israel marked it on Isru Chag, a day after the yahrtzeit. • In New York, Gov. Hochul directed flags on state buildings to be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset and15 landmarks to be illuminated in yellow “in solidarity with the Israeli people.” In addition, she said the Israeli flag will be flown at the Capitol and Empire State Plaza. The only other state to do so was Texas. • In Britain, Prime Minister Andy Burnham issued a statement remembering those "senselessly killed by Hamas terrorists." He noted the subsequent rise in antisemitism but added that he would continue working toward a two-state solution. French President Emmanuel Macron described it as a "barbaric" terrorist attack, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the day a turning point and a public memorial was displayed in Berlin near the Brandenburg Gate. The UN held a high-level commemoration.

Cashing off her Trump access: Donald Trump Jr.’s former fiancée claimed to offer access to the highest level of government — for a fee. A massive one. • The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Kimberly Guilfoyle, currently the ambassador to Greece and no longer affiliated with the president’s son, last year reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request for $100,000 to pay a credit card bill. “It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal. “Please.” • The donor — Eric Deters, a former congressional candidate — needed access to Trump for help with some personal tax and legal issues. If she were successful, he promised payments of as much as $1 million. She updated him regularly on her texts to the new IRS chief and her efforts to lobby the Justice Department on his behalf. But her confirmation as US envoy was coming up and she needed her card balance paid down before then. • She also warned him to stop texting her about it or leaving a paper trail. "Just use Signal," she wrote. Deters didn’t ultimately make the payment. And it comes days after reports that Guilfoyle promoted a Greek company whose lobbyist traveled with her to meetings with governments across the Balkans.
