**Exclusive:** There is no doubt that an Egyptian business jet landed at Ben Gurion Airport on the morning of September 26, 2023. The aircraft was operated by an Egyptian charter company called “Smart Aviation.” It landed in Israel shortly before 10:00 a.m. and departed for Cairo at 11:00 a.m., after spending just over an hour on the ground.
We can reveal this evening that **the head of Egyptian intelligence was not on board this particular aircraft. Instead, it was carrying two businessmen.**
According to several sources familiar with the flight, the two men entered Israel through the Fattal Terminal. It was a regular, routine flight carrying businessmen returning from Egypt. The aircraft received ground-handling services from QAS at Ben Gurion Airport and departed for Egypt without any passengers on board.
It was a routine flight, **not registered as an official or security-related flight**, similar to other business flights that took place in the days leading up to the war. >
