Too bad these dumbfucks didn't drop it and raise the gene pool.
An American family caused a panic at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport
Thursday when they showed up with an unexploded artillery shell they
found while in the Golan Heights, in the country's north.
Videos circulating online showed frightened passengers inside the
airport running for safety and screaming. Authorities sounded an
alert and at least one person was injured trying to run on a
conveyer belt.
Other videos show passengers on the floor in an attempt to secure
cover. The shell was removed and the family was released after being questioned. There was no explosion. The family said they found the
shell in the Golan Heights and intended to bring it back as a
souvenir.
Authorities are still investigating the incident.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war, and
the area saw heavy fighting during that war and another Arab-Israeli
war six years later. Areas known to contain unexploded munitions are
clearly marked and fenced off.
Israel annexed the strategic plateau in 1981 and today it is a major
tourist draw, with wineries, popular hiking spots and a small ski
resort with a short season. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced
plans to boost Israeli settlement in the territory in December.
The Trump administration broke with decades of American policy to
recognize Israel's claim to the Golan, making the United States the
only country to do so.
Israel says it needs the Golan, which has soaring views over Lebanon
and Syria, for its security. Syria has long insisted the entire
territory be returned to it in any peace deal.
