Israel received the crew and passenger manifest for the Flydubai flight that an Omani co-pilot attempted to crash on Wednesday, according to security sources. The security apparatus responsible for monitoring and vetting foreign flight crews landing in Israel, which was supposed to review the list, includes the security department of the Ministry of Transport and the Mossad. These bodies are meant to receive lists of foreign flight crews arriving in Israel and flag any concerns about individuals.
A law passed over three years ago mandates that lists of crew members on flights arriving in Israel be reviewed by security bodies. However, according to a security source, this law has not yet been implemented.
