Israel received the crew and passenger list for the Flydubai flight in advance, according to security sources. The flight was the subject of an attempted crash by an Omani co-pilot on Wednesday. Security officials stated that the Transportation Ministry's Security Department and the Mossad were responsible for vetting foreign flight crews landing in Israel and were supposed to review the list. 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 agencies, but according to a security source, it has not been implemented.
