What we know about the Dubai-Israel plane incident after reported stabbing
The Saudi Arabian airport where the FlyDubai plane was diverted to said the captain and first officer were injured.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on the diversion itself and the brief hijacking concern, but they differ on how much detail they add. Reuters is the most specific, saying the flight transmitted emergency signals and that an Israeli official blamed a fight between the pilots, while the BBC says the hijacking alert was ruled out by the Israeli prime minister's office. The South China Morning Post alone adds that Israel scrambled warplanes.
