A Delta flight arriving from New York was evacuated on Tuesday after landing at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport due to a reported bomb threat. Passengers were moved into the terminal while investigators conducted a search of the aircraft, according to the Jerusalem Post. Authorities had received information about a potential explosive on board, but the search of the Airbus A330 twin-jet revealed no unusual findings. An Israel Airports Authority spokesperson stated, "The incident has ended with no unusual findings. Operations have returned to normal," as reported by Ynet. Delta Airlines operates a daily flight connecting John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York to Tel Aviv, with the flight departing JFK just after 3:30 p.m. on Monday and landing in Tel Aviv at approximately 8:30 a.m. local time. The number of passengers and crew on board the flight is currently unknown. This security incident follows an earlier event involving a co-pilot from Flydubai who allegedly attempted to hijack a plane bound for Tel Aviv. The New York Post has reached out to Delta Airlines for further comment.
