The Israeli national airline confirmed on Sunday that hostile elements “tried to seize control of the communications network of an El Al plane en route from Phuket to Ben Gurion Airport on Saturday evening and divert it from its destination.”
The Israeli newspaper "Jerusalem Post" reported that "hostile elements" contacted the crew of an Israeli plane in Somali airspace and asked it to change its course, in an incident that was the second of its kind within days.
According to the Israeli newspaper, the accident occurred in an area where the Iranian-backed Houthis are active, noting that the “hostile” group gave instructions to the crew that were different from the specified route, which raised fears that someone was trying to damage the plane or lead it to dangerous areas.
