Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDepartures and arrivals were briefly halted this morning at Ben Gurion Airport after a driver tried to breach a roadblock in one of its entrances and security officials feared a potential security incident, Hebrew media reports.
The incident has turned out to be criminal, with the driver having stolen a vehicle and trying to escape cops. He has been arrested after trying to flee on foot.
Ynet reports the detainee is a Palestinian staying illegally in Israel, who stole the car in the Tel Aviv area and was trying to head back to the West Bank when he raised security guards’ suspicion.
