在10月7日袭击事件周年纪念日到来前数日，以色列总理本雅胡·内塔尼亚胡便迅速将阿提哈德航空驾驶舱事件转化为对以色列的更广泛宣示，称赞协助制服驾驶舱内袭击者的乘客。内塔尼亚胡对福克斯新闻说：“我不知道下一个被劫持的人会不会是你，但一定要确保你旁边坐着一个以色列人。”与此同时，以色列人因乘客们夺回飞机控制权、协助避免一场本可能造成严重伤亡的灾难而深感自豪。
Days before the anniversary of the October 7 attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not wait long to turn the flydubai cockpit incident into a broader message about Israel, praising the passengers who helped subdue the attacker inside the cockpit."I don't know if you'll be the next hijacked, but make sure an Israeli is sitting next to you," Netanyahu told Fox News, as Israelis swelled with pride over how passengers wrested control of the plane and helped avert what could have been a deadly disaster. The passengers' actions quickly became a source of national pride in Israel, where the heroic intervention was portrayed as an example of ordinary people taking charge when the aircraft appeared to be in grave danger.ISRAEL TO HONOUR PASSENGERS FOR HEROICSIsraeli President Isaac Herzog said he would present the Presidential Award for Civilian Heroism to five passengers who led the charge into the cockpit after the Omani co-pilot attacked Indian Captain Smit Machchhar and tried to take control of the aircraft.
乘客们的行动很快成为以色列民族自豪感的来源。在这场惊险事件中，机组成员看似面临严重危险，普通人挺身而出的英勇干预被塑造成一个典范。以色列将表彰英勇救人的乘客。以色列总统伊萨克·赫尔佐格表示，他将向五名乘客颁发“平民英雄总统奖”。阿曼籍副驾驶袭击印度籍机长斯米特·马奇哈尔并试图夺取飞机控制权后，正是他们率先冲入驾驶舱。
"You put yourselves at risk to save others and prevented a terrible disaster. Today, the whole world saw the beautiful and courageous face of Israeli society," Herzog said. Among those hailed as heroes was Yaniv Hayoun, a plumber who helped overpower the co-pilot.
赫尔佐格说：“你们冒着自身危险拯救他人，避免了一场可怕灾难。今天，全世界都看到了以色列社会美好而勇敢的一面。”受到英雄称颂者之一是水管工亚尼夫·海容，他协助制服了副驾驶。海容讲述了自己如何冲进驾驶舱、协助将袭击者按住，而受伤的机长当时正在接受救治，因此成为这起事件中最引人关注的代表人物。
Hayoun became a prominent face of the incident after recounting how he rushed into the cockpit and helped pin the attacker down while the injured captain was being treated. Netanyahu met Hayoun at Ben Gurion Airport after the passengers returned to Israel. Hayoun was still wearing the blood-stained T-shirt and jeans he had worn during the struggle when Netanyahu embraced him and asked: "You are a hero.
乘客返回以色列后，内塔尼亚胡在本·古里安机场与海容会面。海容仍穿着搏斗时沾满血迹的T恤和牛仔裤，内塔尼亚胡拥抱了他，并对他 Says：“你是一位英雄。”
How did you do this?" Hayoun replied: "We are a people of lions." He also described the physical confrontation with the co-pilot, telling Netanyahu: "Unfortunately we didn't succeed in killing him, but it will take him awhile to recover."
“你们是怎么做到的？”海云回答说：“我们是一个‘勇猛如狮子’的民族。”他还描述了与副驾驶之间的肢体冲突，并对内塔尼亚胡说：“遗憾的是，我们没能杀死他，但他需要一段时间才能恢复过来。”这一英勇行为很快成为了以色列政治讨论的焦点。内塔尼亚胡亲自迎接乘客并赞扬他们的行为，赢得了部分以色列人的支持；但反对派人士也指责他利用这一事件进行政治宣传。
反对党民主党领袖亚伊尔·戈兰表示，他对乘客们的勇气感到自豪，同时也批评内塔尼亚胡试图“以这种英勇行为为代价来谋取政治利益”。
The heroics quickly became part of Israel's political discourse. Netanyahu's decision to personally welcome the passengers and celebrate their actions drew praise from some Israelis, but opposition figures also accused the Prime Minister of using the incident for political messaging. Yair Golan, leader of the opposition Democrats Party, said he was "feeling filled with pride" over the passengers' bravery but criticised what he called attempts by Netanyahu to "score cheap political points at the expense of this heroism".The incident unfolded just days before the anniversary of October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people and exposing major failures in the country's security system.
这一事件发生在2023年10月7日这一周年纪念日的前几天——当时哈马斯领导的武装分子对以色列发动了前所未有的袭击，导致约1200人死亡，暴露了以色列安全体系的重大漏洞。这一事件还让人联想到2001年9月11日美国恐怖袭击中的联合航空公司93号航班：当时乘客们在得知劫机者打算将飞机用作武器后奋起反抗，最终导致飞机在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。
The episode also drew comparisons with United Airlines Flight 93, one of the planes hijacked during the September 11, 2001, attacks in the US. Passengers on that flight fought back after learning that the hijackers intended to use the aircraft as a weapon, eventually causing it to crash in Pennsylvania.
不过，这次迪拜航空公司的航班与那次事件有一个关键的不同之处：多名飞行员以乘客身份乘坐该航班，当驾驶舱被入侵、疑似袭击者被制服后，他们立即挺身而出协助控制飞机。他们的及时干预使这架波音737飞机得以恢复正常运行，并最终被引导至沙特阿拉伯的塔布克机场。
There was one crucial difference aboard the flydubai flight. Several pilots were travelling as passengers and were able to help after the cockpit was breached and the suspected attacker was subdued. Their intervention helped bring the Boeing 737 under control before it was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
虽然以色列乘客在国内受到了广泛赞誉，但印度飞行员斯米特·马奇哈尔也因在事件中的表现而受到表彰。尽管他在袭击中受了重伤，但他仍设法打开了驾驶舱门，使乘客们能够与副驾驶对峙，从而阻止了副驾驶完全控制飞机。（信息来源：法新社）
While the Israeli passengers have received widespread praise at home, Indian Captain Smit Machchhar has also been praised for his role in averting the disaster. Despite being seriously injured in the attack, Machchhar managed to open the cockpit door, which allowed passengers to confront the co-pilot and helping prevent him from taking full control of the aircraft.- EndsWith inputs from AFP
