NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The use of transponder code 7500 is an internationally recognized signal that indicates a hijacking is taking place, prompting immediate response from air traffic control and nearby military units. This code is typically used in emergency situations where a pilot is unable to communicate verbally, and its activation triggers a swift and coordinated response to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its passengers. The Israeli military's scramble of fighter jets in response to the alarm is a standard protocol in such situations.
