According to TASS, this information was made by the 14th channel of Israeli television. The first results of the investigation indicate that one of the pilots abruptly sent the plane into a steep peak. The aircraft, which was at an altitude of about 10 thousand meters, fell sharply to 4.5 thousand meters. The decline occurred almost at the speed of sound.

According to the TV channel, the pilot could have attempted suicide. He was interrupted by a partner in the cockpit of the liner. Another pilot managed to take control of the plane and at the last minute saved it from the crash. At the time of the fight between the two pilots, signals were sent about an emergency on board and the capture of the aircraft.

Israeli TV channel i24News, citing eyewitnesses, gives its version of events. An hour or two before the estimated time of arrival from the cockpit there were shouts. Several passengers were able to open the door and saw "a lot of blood": one of the pilots was wounded with a penknife.

The plane lost control for a few minutes and began to fall. According to witnesses, Israeli passengers helped save him from the crash. Among them were medical workers who gave the victim first aid, and professional pilots who managed to land the plane. The attacker was also neutralized by the efforts of passengers.

At the same time, the Israeli portal Ynet says that Israeli law enforcement agencies do not rule out the version of a terrorist attack.
