‘Israeli’ security agency Shin Bet received information about the investigation of Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami following a confession that the reason he attempted to crash flydubai flight FZ1073 was because he wanted to "revenge for Gaza,” per Hebrew Channel 12.
Speaking to interrogators, al-Hammami allegedly said that he wanted revenge for Gaza and that he “wanted to die as a martyr."
Following clearance from the 'Israeli' military censor, details of the ongoing investigation reveal that security services in ‘Israel’, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia are working to determine whether al-Hammami acted "alone, or whether he was sent by another party."
During a cabinet briefing, a Mossad representative said that al-Hammami “visited countries hostile to Israel, some of which were enemy countries. These were hasty visits. We are investigating whether during these visits someone or some organization activated or recruited him."
United Arab Emirates authorities allegedly also questioned the flight attendants who were on board the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and ruled out their involvement, Channel 12 added.
Emirati investigators reportedly concluded that while crew members were initially disoriented and confused during the incident, they had no prior knowledge of or participation in the plot.
