Bomb at airport: watch passengers fleeing from Israel airport as American family brings artillery shell

A bomb scare led to scenes of panic and chaos at Israel's main airport. An American family caused the crisis when they walked into the airport with an unexploded artillery shell. The incident occurred at the Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, on April 28.

The American family showed the unexploded bomb shell to security inspectors, leading to an evacuation of the terminal. The Americans found the artillery shell while visiting the Golan Heights, and took it as a souvenir.

Videos on social media showed panicked passengers running to safety. One person was injured while trying to escape over a baggage carousel.

The American family was eventually allowed to board their flight after interrogation by security staff.

The Golan Heights were seized by Israel from Syria in 1967. Syria tried to retake the region in 1973, but failed.
