Jerusalem, 13 October, 2026 (TPS-IL) — An aircraft arriving from the United States landed at Ben Gurion International Airport and was directed to an alternative, isolated runway area following an anonymous report that a bomb was aboard, Israeli media reported Tuesday morning.
Airport security personnel and Israel Police launched thorough searches of the aircraft to rule out any potential threat. The plane was moved away from regular airport operations as security forces carried out inspections.
The circumstances surrounding the report remain under preliminary examination by security officials. No further details about the source of the threat, the identity of the aircraft or its passengers, or whether any suspicious object had been found were immediately available.
