Israel could've shot down plane with 170 people if Indian captain hadn’t opened cockpit

Israel could have shot down the Flydubai plane with over 170 people on board if Indian captain hadn't opened the cockpit after his co-pilot stabbed him to pull off 9/11-style terror attack. Israel's anti-hijacking policy allows hijacked aircraft to be shot down if it is determined to be heading towards strategic targets. However, the plane never entered Israeli airspace.
