Delta Flight Evacuated at Tel Aviv Airport After Bomb Threat, No Explosives Found
A Delta flight from New York was evacuated at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on October 13 following an anonymous bomb threat claiming an explosive was in the cargo hold. Authorities searched the plane thoroughly and found no evidence of a bomb, resuming normal operations. The incident occurred days after a flydubai co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami, attacked his captain mid-flight with plans to crash the plane at Ben Gurion. Israeli authorities have since enhanced aviation security measures.
