An unusual incident at Ben Gurion Airport: a two-year-old toddler climbed onto a baggage conveyor belt last Thursday and advanced for several minutes until he was stopped at an unmanned baggage sorting station. The toddler was found safe and sound. According to the Israel Airports Authority, he advanced only a few meters. The airport is reviewing the incident, and the police are expected to open an investigation. The toddler's parents, who were flying to Larnaca, discovered near the end of check-in that the toddler was missing and called the police, who initiated a missing person procedure. The Israel Airports Authority stated that the toddler was without his parents' supervision, wandered off, and climbed onto an unmanned conveyor belt.
