In a major security bust at Ben‑Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv overnight on November 28, customs officials intercepted three travelers carrying pistols concealed in suitcases with false bottoms. The luggage was flagged during routine screening, and authorities discovered the firearms packed beneath normal luggage items. The three individuals — now formally indicted — were arrested on the spot.
Officials confirmed there was no need for evacuations or shelter orders. Airport operations continued with only brief delays.
