An American family caused a panic at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport Thursday when they showed up with an unexploded artillery shell they found while in the Golan Heights, in the country's north.
Videos circulating online showed frightened passengers inside the airport running for safety and screaming. Authorities sounded an alert and at least one person was injured trying to run on a conveyer belt.
Other videos show passengers on the floor in an attempt to secure cover. The shell was removed and the family was released after being questioned. There was no explosion. The family said they found the shell in the Golan Heights and intended to bring it back as a souvenir.
Authorities are still investigating the incident.
