Summarized from Israel National News by baba
Kan News reported that two businessmen, not Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel, arrived on a private Egyptian plane in Israel on September 26, 2023, eleven days before the October 7 attacks.

The identities of the businessmen are known to authorities but kept confidential.
