News Summary at 2:46 p.m. EDT

At 2:46 p.m. EDT, an Associated Press roundup reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a FlyDubai pilot stabbed another pilot during a flight from the United Arab Emirates to Israel and then apparently tried to crash the aircraft. Passengers and crew subdued the attacker, and the plane made a safe emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu said Saudi Arabia arrested a pilot, but it was not yet clear what motivated the attack. The flight forced an abrupt descent after an emergency alert as passengers screamed, and Israel scrambled warplanes over possible hijacking concerns. The incident occurred days before the Oct. 7, 2023 anniversary, amid heightened security warnings. The summary also covered other AP items, including a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and a Tennessee execution halted by a federal appeals court.
