This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

On September 11, 2001, the world stood still as 2,977 innocent lives were taken in the deadliest terrorist attack in American history.
25 years later, Israel stands with the American people in honoring the victims, their families, and all those whose lives were forever changed that day.
We remain united against jihadi terrorism and committed to confronting those who seek to destroy innocent lives and threaten our shared values.
May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️

Major (res.) Itamar Sapir, 27, was killed this morning in a Hezbollah terrorist attack launched from this church in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah once again turned a holy site into a terrorist stronghold - desecrating a place of worship, violating international law, and breaching the ceasefire.
Major Sapir leaves behind his wife, Roi, and their one-year-old son, Maayan.
Terrorists hide behind places of worship while targeting Israeli soldiers. The world must stop looking away.

To the Nakba glorifiers:
The Nakba was the result of the Arab rejection of the UN Partition Plan & decision to launch war to annihilate the State of Israel.
You can't start war, openly vow to “throw the Jews into the sea,” and then pretend being the victim of the conflict you started.
The real forgotten victims are the 850,000 Jewish refugees expelled from Arab countries at the same time.
