Israel-bound flight diverted to Saudi Arabia after onboard attack
Original: Israel-bound flight diverted to Saudi Arabia after terror attack on board
A flight travelling to Israel was forced to divert to Saudi Arabia following a terror attack on board, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Few further details have been confirmed about the attack, the aircraft involved, or casualties. The diversion is notable given the lack of direct air links between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and the story is drawing wide attention.
Why now: A terror attack on a flight and an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia are both rare and alarming events
