Israel was prepared to shoot down the FlyDubai passenger jet carrying more than 150 Israelis if it had been confirmed hijacked and continued toward Israel, two Israeli sources say.
Under the protocol, fighter jets would first inspect the cockpit and cabin and try to establish contact.
If the aircraft was deemed hijacked, remained silent and kept approaching Israel, Netanyahu could authorize it to be shot down to prevent an attack on a major target.

Trump is spending the final stretch of the midterm campaign almost entirely in heavily Republican states, underscoring growing GOP concern about losing control of Congress.
One GOP lawmaker called the situation a โfive-alarm fire,โ adding: โWe always welcome the president, but I donโt know if heโs aware of the feelings out here.โ
Republicans increasingly fear high fuel prices, living costs, the Iran war and Trumpโs beef-import policy could hurt them even in red states.

Trump:
What's driving up Gasoline is no longer the Strait of Hormuz, because Record Numbers of Barrels are coming out now on an almost daily basis, but the word, "Refineries," where Russia's are being blown up by Ukraine, and where ours are being closed up, in Blue States, like California, by the Dumocrats.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
Our problem with the United States is that every time we come to the negotiating table, war is immediately imposed on us.
So far, they have attacked us three times after talks, and this shows that they are not seeking dialogue.
Negotiations with an enemy that carries out assassinations, sanctions, pressure and threats while repeatedly breaking agreements have no meaning.

Trump:
The Ohio Arena was already full to the brim โ And yet these people were still trying to get in. The New York Times said, โThere were empty seatsโ when, in fact, there were none, and thousands of people had to be turned away.
The New York Times, and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country.
When Bernie Sanders has 500 to 1,000 people, they make it sound like itโs the biggest event that ever took place. When PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP has 50,000 people, they make it sound like nobody showed up!
