The Defense Ministry on Monday officially recognized the passengers of the flydubai attempted hijacking as victims of terror under Israeli law, a month and a half after the incident took place.

The decision was made after the ministry received confirmation from investigative authorities, including the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and Mossad, that the hijacking was indeed an attempted terror attack.

The matter will now be forwarded to the National Insurance Institute, which will contact the victims to provide further assistance.

This is a developing story.
