A Flydubai flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv sent both the 7700 general emergency squawk and the 7500 hijack code early Wednesday, according to Israel's Channel 12. Israeli Air Force fighter jets were then scrambled toward the aircraft. The report said the plane later circled over Jordan before diverting to Saudi Arabia, with about 180 passengers on board. Israeli authorities said they were unable to establish contact with the aircraft and that it would not be permitted to land in Israeli territory. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Katz, and Transportation Minister Miri Regev were holding emergency consultations over the incident, according to the report.
