Fisherman finds mortar shell in Yarkon river

The Israel Police reports it has pulled an unexploded mortar shell from a tributary of the Yarkon River between Kfar Saba and Petah Tikva.

A man walked into a police station on Sunday and reported that he had seen a mortar shell being carried by the waters running into the Yarkon the day before.

A search of the river locates the shell in the water. IDF and police sappers pull the shell from the water and destroy it.

There is no immediate word on the source of the shell.
