The former head of Egyptian intelligence, Abbas Kamel, was not on the Egyptian plane that landed in Israel shortly before the October 7th Hamas attacks, according to a Wednesday report by Kan 11.

The aircraft, belonging to the Egyptian charter company Smart Aviation, reportedly landed in Israel on September 26th at 10:00 AM carrying two businessmen. The plane departed about an hour later, empty of passengers.

This report follows Prime Minister Netanyahu's admission yesterday that the head of Egyptian intelligence had visited Israel before the massacre, though he stated he did not know who met with him.
