Israeli officials are treating an attempted hijacking of a passenger flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv as an act of terror, a bad sign for Gulf–Israel air travel.

• One of the plane's pilots tried to take control and crash it, Israel says.
• Both pilots were wounded and hospitalized, and both survived.
• Two off-duty pilots traveling at the back of the plane helped land it safely with over 100 people on board.
• Early reporting says an Omani pilot stabbed an Emirati pilot, with passengers also hurt while helping the crew.

Outlook: Expect tighter cockpit security and crew screening on routes between the Gulf and Israel while the investigation plays out.
