A suspect who made a false bomb report earlier in the day called the police again Tuesday evening, claiming a bomb was planted on another flight scheduled to depart from the United States for Israel overnight. The flight, which was preparing for takeoff from New York, was grounded. The flight will not be cleared for departure until American security agencies complete a thorough inspection and receive approval from Israeli security officials and the Ministry of Transportation. This latest incident occurred just hours after the same suspect caused an aerial disruption. The initial false report was received Tuesday morning and concerned a Delta Airlines flight already in the air en route from New York to Israel. Shortly thereafter, the Airport Authority announced that the suspected threat had been cleared. Regarding the morning incident, the Airport Authority stated, "Following a report of a suspicious finding on a Delta Airlines aircraft that landed at TLV, the plane was moved to a remote parking stand. All passengers disembarked safely. The aircraft was thoroughly searched by TLV security personnel, and the incident concluded without any unusual findings."
