Israeli police are summoning senior officials from the Ministry of Transportation for questioning as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged aviation security failures. The probe was initiated following security incidents aboard a Flydubai flight and will examine suspicions of serious, long-standing security lapses on foreign flights operating in Israel.
