Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 07:56 · Archive

A Delta Airlines flight from New York to Tel Aviv was evacuated at Ben Gurion Airport following an anonymous bomb threat made against the aircraft. The flight was directed to a remote area of the airport shortly after landing, where passengers were quickly evacuated to the terminal.

Security officials conducted a search of the aircraft for any suspicious objects. Authorities said there was no immediate danger to passengers. The Jerusalem Post reported that initial assessments suggested the threat was a false alarm, though investigations were continuing.

GB News noted that Delta had only restarted flights to Tel Aviv in early September after a six-month halt. The incident occurred weeks after a separate 'jihadist' hijack attempt on another flight bound for Israel.
