A woman who had been denied entry into Israel managed to board a TUS Airways flight bound for Tel Aviv from Larnaca Airport in Cyprus on Monday, October 5. The breach was discovered by the flight crew after they conducted a passenger count and found one extra person on board. The woman was identified and removed from the aircraft. The flight captain informed passengers that the woman had "gotten through the system" despite lacking permission to travel to Israel, and that her presence was only detected due to the crew's vigilance. Following the incident, some passengers requested the flight be canceled, according to N12. The event occurred amid heightened scrutiny of flight security, following a September 30th hijacking attempt on a FlyDubai flight and ongoing discussions in Israel about perceived weaknesses in the screening of passengers and crews of foreign airlines. It remains unclear if the woman's entry ban was related to security concerns, N12 reported.
