After a tourist boat on Italy's Lake Maggiore capsized, carrying Israeli officials, Israeli media Walla! reported that the boat trip, which killed four, was not planned in advance. The trip was planned last minute after the officials missed their flight after their covert meeting was extended. 

According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the intel officers attended confidential meetings in Lombardy for information exchange and classified documents.
