• An American family returning to the United States from a trip to Israel on April 28 set off a chaotic bomb scare at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv when they tried to take an unexploded artillery shell through a security check, the BBC reported.
They had found the shell in the Golan Heights and picked it up as a souvenir; at the airport, a family member pulled it from a backpack and asked if it could be put in a suitcase.
The security official called for her immediate area to be cleared, but someone misheard her, and panic ensued.
The family members were later questioned and allowed to board their flight. [BBC, 4/29/2022]
