Emirati flight carrying Israelis makes emergency landing in Saudi Arabia amid regional escalation

RIYADH, March. 01 (YPA) – An Emirates-based Flydubai flight carrying dozens of Israelis made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.

This coincides with the escalation of Iranian strikes in response to the Israeli-American aggression against Tehran.

According to “Israel’s” Channel 12, the flight was diverted due to heightened security tensions. Passengers remained on board for a period before authorities began transporting them by bus toward the UAE.

This incident coincides with reports that approximately 100,000 Israelis are stranded abroad following the suspension of various flight routes, as Iran launched retaliatory attacks in response to earlier Israeli-American strikes targeting Tehran and several other Iranian cities.
