Officials tried twice to take over the communication network of El Al pilots flying to Thailand, while they were flying over Somalia. There is a fear that it is the Houthis, but there is no definite confirmation of this.

The pilots realized that these were not official instructions and switched to another communication network via satellite communication, and continued the flight.
