Construction workers uncover unexploded WWI mortar shell
Construction workers in the central city of Yehud uncover an unexploded mortar shell dating back to World War I, police say.
A bomb disposal unit is dispatched to the building site on Ashkenazi Street in the city to remove the shell.
Police seal off the surrounding area as a precaution until the ordnance is safely removed. The closed-off streets are then reopened.
