A Delta Airbus A330 flying from JFK to Tel Aviv was isolated and its passengers rushed into the terminal at Ben Gurion Airport on Tuesday morning after an anonymous tip warned that a bomb had been planted on board. Israeli Airports Authority confirmed the threat was false after a full security sweep found no suspicious objects. The plane had departed New York just after 3:30 p.m. Monday and landed in Tel Aviv at around 8:30 a.m. local time.

An Israel Airports Authority spokesperson confirmed: 'The incident has ended with no unusual findings — operations have returned to normal.'
