Israeli officials say that the interrogation of the terrorist pilot Al-Hammami, who attempted to hijack the Fly Dubai flight to Israel, reveals that he intended to crash the plane into Ben Gurion Airport. Therefore, he began taking over the aircraft only in Jordan, intending to appear as if making a normal landing at Ben Gurion Airport – and then crash into the airfield and cause mass casualties. The terrorist flew to Israel in the summer and gathered intelligence ahead of the attack, which he planned to carry out in July, but postponed it because he was close to one of the crew members who participated in the flight.
