以色列紧急升空战斗机，并准备在飞迪拜航班驾驶舱发生刺伤袭击后，若该机继续飞往特拉维夫时将其击落，据哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS News）报道。9月30日，1073号航班从迪拜飞往特拉维夫途中，副驾驶哈马德·阿尔-哈马米袭击了机长斯米特·马查尔，并试图夺取飞机控制权。随后飞机在短短30多秒内骤降16000英尺，引发以色列方面担心这可能是一次劫机或针对该国的袭击。据哥伦比亚广播公司报道，以色列空军试图与驾驶舱建立联系，但未得到回应。
Israel scrambled fighter jets and prepared for the possibility of shooting down the flydubai plane if it continued towards Tel Aviv following the cockpit stabbing attack, a CBS News report said. On September 30, Flight 1073 was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv when co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami attacked Captain Smit Machchhar and attempted to take control of the aircraft. The plane subsequently plunged 16,000 feet in just over 30 seconds, prompting fears in Israel that it could be a hijacking or an attack targeting the country. According to the CBS News report, the Israeli Air Force tried to establish contact with the cockpit but received no response.
预先设定的应急机制被启动，指挥中心成立，以色列领空关闭，战斗机紧急升空拦截。
A pre-existing emergency mechanism was activated, a command centre was set up and Israeli airspace was closed as fighter jets were scrambled.
当局确认该航班已改变航向飞往沙特阿拉伯并准备紧急降落后，以色列战斗机被召回。
The Israeli jets were later recalled after authorities determined that the aircraft had changed course towards Saudi Arabia and was heading for an emergency landing.
据哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS News）报道，沙特阿拉伯也紧急升空战斗机。
Saudi Arabia also scrambled fighter jets, CBS News reported.
报道称，如果该航班继续飞往特拉维夫，以色列战斗机飞行员准备靠近该飞机，并尝试与驾驶舱内人员建立目视联系。目的在于评估飞机是否被劫持，并确定紧急情况的性质。
Had the aircraft continued towards Tel Aviv, Israeli fighter pilots were prepared to approach it and attempt to make visual contact with those inside the cockpit, according to the report. The aim would have been to assess whether the aircraft had been hijacked and determine the nature of the emergency.CBS News reported that if a hijacking had been confirmed and there was no response from the attackers, the matter could have been escalated to Israel's Defence Minister and Prime Minister.
哥伦比亚广播公司报道，如果确认发生劫机且劫机者无回应，事态可能升级呈报以色列国防部长和总理。下令击落飞机的最终决定权将掌握在总理手中。
The final authority to order the aircraft shot down would have rested with the Prime Minister.
以色列消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司，如果劫机成功且飞机继续飞往以色列，官方认为可在飞机抵达特拉维夫前将其拦截，以防止其袭击本-古里安机场或阿兹里利中心等敏感目标。
Israeli sources told CBS News that, had the hijacking succeeded, and the aircraft continued towards Israel, officials believed it could have been intercepted before reaching Tel Aviv to prevent a potential attack on sensitive targets, including Ben Gurion Airport or the Azrieli Centre.
危机最终在马查尔设法打开驾驶舱门后结束，尽管他在被撞斧攻击后重伤。
The crisis ultimately ended after Machchhar, despite being severely injured after he was attacked with a crash axe, managed to open the cockpit door.
乘客介入制服了哈马米，而机上两名非值班飞行员接管飞机并将其改飞沙特阿拉伯塔布克。
