A commercial aircraft travelling from Dubai to Israel has been forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after a fight broke out in the cockpit, according to reports.
The incident prompted the crew to divert the flight, with the plane touching down in Saudi Arabia rather than continuing to its intended destination. It is understood the disturbance occurred among those at the front of the aircraft, forcing a rapid change of course.
Further details surrounding the nature of the altercation and those involved have not yet been confirmed. Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances that led to the mid-flight diversion.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about in-flight security, particularly in sensitive air corridors across the Middle East.
