The video released by the public broadcaster Kan shows the pandemonium that broke out at the international airport, where people fled the ticket control area and were covered in the midst of terror. The incident started when the American family showed up for its flight at the airport outside Tel Aviv carrying the bomb that had not exploded, the Washington Post reported. A family member removed the shell from a backpack and asked a security agent if it could be placed in a suitcase, the BBC reported, citing YNet news. The official ordered the surrounding area to be evacuated, but another passenger misunderstood and started shouting: “Terrorists are shooting”. This caused panic throughout the terminal. An American family caused panic at Ben Gurion International Airport when it tried to bring with it a bomb that had not exploded on a plane. CEN A 32-year-old man identified as Uri was injured during the panic and taken to hospital. “I was at the airport waiting in line for an hour until I got to the check-in counter and suddenly within a five-meter radius people started running and dropped their luggage,” he told YNet, the BBC reported. “The fear was that someone was spraying bullets. “I realized I had to get away too, so I ran to check-in, tripped on a conveyor belt; and flew a distance of six meters,” he said. The family said one of their children found the bomb on a tour of the Golan Heights. CEN The tourists told officials that one of their children found the shell during a sightseeing tour of the Golan Heights, which Israel occupied from the Syrians during the 1967 Six-Day War. A local news agency reported that the family was unaware of the danger of pulling out unexploded ordnance. After searching for their explosive souvenir, the family was allowed to board their flight. It was not immediately clear where the head of the family was. Panic ensued when a traveler misunderstood the situation and screamed that there was a terrorist attack. CEN In January, the Israeli army fired hundreds of rounds of ammunition from a 45-year-old Syrian refuge recently discovered in the Golan Heights, the Washington Post reported. In 2019, then-President Donald Trump made the controversial decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty in the Golan Heights, which the country annexed in 1981. With Post cables
