周三上午，一架飞往特拉维夫的航班在突然下降超过15,000英尺后被迫改变航线。
A flight to Tel Aviv was forced to divert on Wednesday morning after suddenly dropping more than 15,000 feet.
FlyDubai 1073航班于当地时间早上7点左右从迪拜起飞，原计划约三小时后降落在以色列本-古里安机场。
FlyDubai Flight 1073 took off from Dubai just after 7 a.m. local time and was scheduled to land at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport about three hours later.
飞行约两小时后，这架波音737 Max客机从34,000英尺的巡航高度急剧下降至约17,000英尺。
Around two hours into the flight, the Boeing 737 Max dropped sharply from its cruising altitude of 34,000 feet, descending to roughly 17,000 feet above sea level. 10 minutes later, the airplane squawked 7700, an internationally recognized code for general emergencies during flights.
10分钟后，飞机发出了7700代码信号，这是国际通用的紧急情况代码。
It then changed the code to 7500, which indicates "unlawful interference" with the flight, and is the code used by pilots to indicate attempted hijackings.
随后代码变为7500，表示“飞行受到非法干扰”，这是飞行员在遭遇劫机企图时使用的信号。
It later reverted to the more general 7700 code after diverting toward Tabuk, a city in northern Saudi Arabia, about 270 miles from Tel Aviv.
飞机最终改道飞往沙特阿拉伯北部的塔布克（距特拉维夫约270英里）并于当地时间上午8点44分降落。
The plane landed in Tabuk at 8.44 a.m. local time.
事件的具体原因尚不清楚，但以色列国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-维尔在X平台上表示，有“一名恐怖分子企图撞毁飞机并杀害机上的180名以色列乘客”。
The exact nature of the incident remains unclear, but Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, said in a post on X that there was "a terrorist who planned to crash the plane and murder the 180 Israelis on board."
以色列总理办公室称，内塔尼亚胡总理已就该事件进行磋商并正在密切关注事态发展。
"Following concerns over an aviation incident, Prime Minister Netanyahu held consultations on the matter and is monitoring developments," the Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement.
目前事件已得到控制，正在采取一切措施确保以色列乘客安全返回以色列。
"The incident is under control, and all measures are currently being deployed in order to return the Israeli passengers safely to Israel."
