A 32-year-old man was reportedly taken to hospital for treatment for injuries after he fell over a baggage carousel, the Israeli Airports Authority stated.

This came as a child had found the unexploded shell while visiting the Golden Heights in the region of Golan and the family had packed it to take home as souvenir, according to the Jewish Press.
