Emergency crews were dispatched Sunday morning to Ben Gurion Airport after a package shipped from abroad began emitting thick black smoke, raising concerns over a possible hazardous materials incident. Workers in the immediate area were evacuated as a precaution while firefighters and a specialized hazmat team secured the scene.
Authorities say the situation is under control and there are no confirmed injuries at this stage. The Fire and Rescue Service said the contents of the package are still being examined, with testing underway to determine whether the substance may be toxic, including the possibility it is linked to materials used in pharmaceutical production. Officials also noted there is no indication the incident is connected to ongoing military developments.
