Israeli Media Questions Security Checks Following Attempted Flight Crash by Omani Co-Pilot

What happened

Israeli news outlets are investigating security and intelligence oversight after an Omani co-pilot with a history of radicalization attempted to crash a FlyDubai flight bound for Tel Aviv.

How coverage differs

Right-leaning outlets frame the incident around the gravity of the threat, with Israel Hayom describing it as a near-9/11 attack, while center and left-leaning outlets like Ynet and Haaretz focus more on regulatory failures, procedural gaps in screening foreign crews, and criticism of government accountability.
