A two-year-old boy was found unharmed at Ben-Gurion Airport on Thursday after climbing onto an unattended baggage conveyor belt while his parents were checking in for a flight to Larnaca. The Jerusalem Post reported that the boy had wandered away from his parents without their knowledge during check-in, and that they noticed he was missing near the end of the process and alerted police before a search of the airport began. The Israel Airports Authority said the boy travelled only a few metres along the belt and stayed on it for several minutes before airport staff found him at a baggage sorting station. Police have opened an investigation into how he reached the conveyor system unnoticed, and his parents are expected to be questioned after they return from abroad. The Israel Airports Authority is also examining the circumstances.
