The behavior of a Jordanian pilot with an elderly Palestinian woman, who asked to sit in his place in the cockpit and watch the occupied Palestinian territories from above, was widely popular on social media.

The video clip shows the Jordanian pilot’s response to the desire of the Palestinian elderly woman, as he asked her family to photograph her, seated her next to him in the cabin, and made her wear the pilot’s hat, which made the elderly very happy.

The video received a great deal of interaction from activists, according to Al-Jazeera Net, as journalist Khairuddin Al-Jabri wrote "How nice is the captain of the plane.. Al-Hajja wants to see the cabin of the plane and go to Nablus and Jerusalem".

The media, Rahma Hajja, said in a tweet, that she is the mother of the martyr Muhammad Nafeh Hardan, and her first and second daughter-in-law are martyrs (Amal and Jamila). They were all killed in a massacre on the land of Arraba in Jenin 20 years ago.

Ibrahim al-Rantisi wrote "May the soul of the pilgrims rejoice".
