A two-year-old boy briefly disappeared at Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday after climbing onto a baggage conveyor belt. The family was checking in for a flight to Larnaca, Cyprus when they realized their son was missing. They searched and called the police, who began missing-child procedures. The toddler was found minutes later on the conveyor belt in the baggage sorting area, safe and well. An employee in the sorting area told Channel 12 they were 'in shock' and 'It's not clear how he survived.' The parents were questioned briefly before boarding their flight. The Israel Airports Authority said the child was unsupervised and the matter is being handled by police.
