The aircraft that serve this airport aren't included in our FOQA Program, because, we've been told, it's too expensive and they prefer the "statistical" approach with the bits and pieces we collect.

That said, the question on data, FOQA or ASAP/ASRs is a good one. The approach into Bombay (now Mumbai as we know) onto 27 was the same - there's a hill about 12nm out that used to set off the GPWS on the L1011-500. Same thing currently occurs into LAS onto 19, about 9nm to the NE near Nellis AFB. These aren't "false" warnings but are known and charted. I'm not aware of any such notes/cautions on the Jepps into Ben Gurion.
