A flight from Athens to Tel Aviv was diverted due to an attack in the cockpit, according to Israeli authorities. The incident occurred on a commercial flight operated by a Greek airline. The pilot survived the attack, which involved a stabbing in the cockpit. Israeli intelligence believes the attack was an attempt to crash the plane into Tel Aviv.
The incident took place on a flight that had already departed Athens and was en route to Tel Aviv when the attack occurred. The pilot, who was the sole survivor, was hailed as a hero by passengers and crew. Israeli security services have since increased surveillance and patrols in response to the suspected terror act.
This is the second such incident in recent weeks. Earlier this month, a similar attack was reported on a flight from Istanbul to Tel Aviv, which was also diverted and safely landed. Both incidents have raised concerns about potential threats targeting Israeli civilians. Israeli officials have not yet confirmed the identity of the attacker but are investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism. The motive remains under investigation, with no official statement released at this time.
