"DUBAI // Lebanese expatriates with handwritten passports are upset at having to renew them for electronic versions they say they knew nothing about.
However, Lebanon’s consul in Abu Dhabi, Hadi Hashem, said that the decision to change the passports was made public a year ago following a recommendation by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.
“We were not renewing passports in 2015 and, at the end of the year, we were only issuing new passports,” he said. “We are trying to expedite the process by sending the passports to Beirut once a week every Thursday, instead of every two weeks.” ................"
Is " once a week" necessarily included in that sentence?

Not really, since "every Thursday" already means that.

I don't know but I feel like "once a week" might be necessary. The sentence says about how they try to expedite the process from every two weeks to once a week. "Every Thursday" is the additional information in my opinion.

ilas I don't know but I feel like "once a week" might be necessary. The sentence says about how they try to expedite the process from every two weeks to once a week. "Every Thursday" is the additional information in my opinion.In that case I would say "once a week on Thursday". "every" seems redundant.
