Mass panic erupted in Israel’s main airport after an American family attempted to fly with an unexploded shell as a “souvenir” on Thursday.
Footage recorded at Ben Gurion Airport's departure hall showed travellers sprinting for cover and crawling underneath benches to hide from a potential explosion.
One man was hospitalised after leaping over a baggage carousel, sustaining injuries.
The family had discovered the bomb during a trip to the Golan Heights and packed it for their return journey as a souvenir.
Israel clashed with Syria over the Golan during the wars of 1967 and 1973.
The bomb was discovered at the airport’s check-in, prompting a mass evacuation of the area.
