Did Israel Miss The Warning Signs? Yaakov Amidror On Flydubai Attack & Security Gaps | Raw Report

News18 - Oct 5, 2026

Did Israel Ignore Red Flags? The thwarted attack aboard Flydubai Flight FZ1073 has triggered a major security and intelligence probe after Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami allegedly attacked Indian Captain Smit Machchhar and attempted to seize control of the aircraft.New reporting points to possible security and vetting failures across Oman, the UAE and Israel. Omani authorities had reportedly identified concerns about al-Hammami’s extremist views and barred him from flying for Oman Air, yet those concerns were not broadly shared. Israel also received crew information before the flight but did not flag the Omani co-pilot.Former Israeli National Security Adviser Maj Gen (R) Yaakov Amidror says there was no established international process requiring countries to report such concerns to one another.Meanwhile, Captain Smit Machchhar has been praised for his courage in helping prevent a catastrophe and save the lives of those onboard. -reportn18oc_indiaCNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.

From Streets To Supreme Court: CEC Gyanesh Kumar Faces The Heat | Brass Tacks With Nabila Jamal

The controversy surrounding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has moved from street protests to the Supreme Court. The top court on Monday issued notice to the Election Commission and other respondents on pleas challenging alleged unilateral decision-making during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, while refusing to pass an interim order suspending Kumar. With protests demanding the CEC’s resignation, allegations over decisions taken without the approval of the other Election Commissioners, and the Supreme Court seeking responses from the poll panel, questions over the functioning and accountability of the Election Commission are intensifying. On Brass Tacks With Nabila Jamal, we examine the allegations against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, the political battle over SIR, the Supreme Court’s intervention and what the latest developments mean for India’s electoral process. n18oc_indian18oc_brass-tacksNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
