Another Attempt on an El Al Airliner

 I get reports of incidents of Commercial Aircraft incidents and accidents from 3rd party sources, I believe English from the spelling and the sentence structure.   But this one raised eyebrows.  I betcha the Iranians are behind this one hoping the snare a airliner full of Israeli's, can you imagine the propaganda value, but of course it wouldn't be the Iranians, it would be the "rebels" in Somalia or the Houthi's with their "QUD's" advisors.  They would use them to try to get Bebi to back off the Gaza operation, especially since most of the hostages they seized in October 7th that are still in the hands of Hamas are most likely dead and Israel is after vengeance, and a whole new set of hostages would change the dynamics.  This is why most of the western based airlines are avoiding the area because of crap like this, and the American carriers won't go anywhere near this area.

An El Al Boeing 787-9, registration 4X-EDJ performing flight LY-88 from Phuket (Thailand) to Tel Aviv (Israel), was enroute at FL400 over Somalia when the crew received instructions via ATC frequency that were in conflict with the flight plan. The crew ignored the instructions, switched to a different communication method and continued to Tel Aviv for a safe landing about 3.5 hours later.

The airline reported a "hostile elements" attempted to take over communication with the aircraft on Saturday (Feb 17th) night and divert it from its destination. This had been the second such incident in the area. Crews have been informed about frequent communication interruptions in that area and frequency and have received instructions of how to handle the flight professionally when this happens.

  1. Thanks for that, hadn’t heard that in the msm but then again I don’t catch much of their BS. Sounds like a good opportunity for a false flag as well. Thank you for what you do

  2. Hey Chris

    Yeah, i was wondering, and like if they can grab a planeful of mostly Israeli's, imagine the pressure and propaganda value.
