A US family caused a bomb scare at Israel's main airport after presenting an artillery shell at a security check.
American tourists unwittingly caused a bomb scare at an airport in Israel
The tourists had picked up the bombshell on a visit to Golan Heights, the site of wars between Israel and Syria, and were planning to take it home with them as a souvenir.
Video footage on social media showed people fleeing the scene at Ben Gurion Airport in a panic after a passenger mistakenly thought a terrorist attack was happening.
Amid the chaos, a man named Uri hurt himself as he tried to escape and had to be taken to hospital.
He told Israel's YNet news: "I was at the airport waiting for an hour in line until I got to the check-in counter, and suddenly at a radius of five metres (16ft) people started running away and left luggage.
"The fear was that someone is spraying bullets, I understood that I too have to escape, so I ran towards the check-in, I stumbled on a conveyor belt... and flew a distance of six metres."
Ben Gurion Airport is considered to have one of the highest levels of security in the world but the family were able to board their flight after being given the all-clear.
