A Delta Air Lines flight arriving from New York at Ben Gurion International Airport was isolated on Tuesday morning, October 13, following an anonymous report of a bomb on board. The flight, DL234, landed and was subsequently moved to a remote area away from terminals. Security services immediately began an investigation after the threat was received. It remains unclear whether the information originated from the United States or Israel, according to Ynet. All passengers were evacuated from the aircraft under the supervision of security personnel. Bomb disposal experts and sappers are conducting a thorough inspection of the plane and passenger luggage. The aircraft will remain in isolation until the checks are complete. Israeli security services preliminarily assess the threat as likely false, but investigations are ongoing. This incident occurs amid heightened aviation security awareness. On the previous day, an Ethiopian Airlines cargo plane was denied entry into Israeli airspace because a crew member held Indonesian citizenship, a country with which Israel has no diplomatic relations. The plane returned to Ethiopia, where the pilot was replaced.
