The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) is taking part in the interrogation of Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami, who attempted to hijack a flydubai flight to Israel, The Jerusalem Post learned on Monday.

According to initial reports from the investigation, which is taking place in the United Arab Emirates, Hammami is said to have stabbed the flight’s captain with a cockpit emergency axe and attempted to seize a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday, with the intent of harming some 166 Israelis on board.

Israel is still working to establish a final profile of Hammami to determine whether he acted as a ‘lone wolf,’ was affiliated with any organization, or was sent directly by Iran.

His interrogation revealed that he sought revenge for what he described as the “genocide in Gaza,” sources say.
