Panic ensued at Israel's Ben Gurion airport, when an American family presented security officials during a checkpoint with a missile they had found during their vacation in the country and decided to take it as a souvenir!
Once the nature of the family's "souvenir" became known, panic ensued at the airport outside Tel Aviv, with passengers running in panic into the departure hall. In fact, one man was injured during the panic and was taken to hospital for first aid.
The Israeli press reported that during the family's trip one of the children had found the unexploded missile during his visit to the Golan Heights and had packed it to take home as a souvenir.
When they showed it to security personnel while checking their luggage, officials immediately requested that the area be evacuated. Bomb squad officers were called to the scene, but the alarm ended a few minutes later.
The family finally boarded their flight after being questioned by security personnel.
