During the busiest time of the summer, the computer system at the border control at Ben-Gurion International Airport crashed on Friday, 29 Menachem Av. As a result, police manning the border control stations had to revert to manual operations.
Needless to say the process was delayed as a result arriving passengers wishing to reach their destination before candle lighting were especially nervous. Additional personnel was added towards minimizing delays.
It was pointed out that the outgoing computer system was operational and the crash only impacted incoming passengers.

And yeshivaworld had an spellcheck computer glitch too!
Yes, and while we’re on the topic of grammar and spelling, the word should be “a” not “an”.
