TEL AVIV: A Delta Air Lines flight from New York was evacuated after landing at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday following a bomb threat, Israeli media reported.
Security officials moved passengers off the aircraft and searched it thoroughly. No suspicious items were found, according to the reports.
What is known
The threat was reported on an Israel-bound Delta service that arrived from New York on Tuesday. Airport security personnel carried out standard bomb-threat protocols, evacuating the plane and inspecting the aircraft and its baggage before declaring it clear.
Authorities have not publicly identified the source of the threat or said whether any arrests were made. Bomb scares on flights to Israel are treated with the highest seriousness given the country's security environment, though most such incidents in recent years have turned out to be false alarms.
