Pilot stabs fellow pilot on flight to Israel before passengers intervene to stop attack

On September 30th, a plane flying from Dubai to Tel-Aviv was nearly hijacked. One of the pilots began stabbing the other pilot, causing the plane to fall almost 20,000 ft in the air. The pilot being stabbed thwarted his aggressor along with the help of a few Israeli passengers on the plane. The original squawk code transmitted was 7700, meaning a general emergency. Later, the defending pilot, still under attack, transmitted 7500, signaling unlawful interference or hijacking. It is still unclear whether the attacker planned on committing a terrorist attack on Israeli soil or simply planned to crash the plane with the Israelis onboard.
