		</div><p>A bomb scare set off scenes of panic at Israel’s airport after a US family showed up with an unexploded artillery shell they had found in the Golan Heights and intended to bring back as a souvenir.</p>
<p>Videos circulating online showed passengers ducking for cover, running and screaming at the departure hall of Ben Gurion International Airport on Thursday.</p>
<p>The airport authority said security officers sounded an alert when they discovered the unexploded shell.</p>
<p>At least one person was injured after trying to run on a conveyer belt, it said.</p>
<p>Normal operations resumed after the shell was safely removed a short time later.</p>
<p>The family was released after questioning.</p>
<p>Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 war, and the area saw heavy fighting during that war and another Arab-Israeli war six years later.</p>
<p>Areas known to contain unexploded munitions are clearly marked and fenced off.</p>
<p>Israel annexed the strategic plateau in 1981 and today it is a major tourist draw, with wineries, popular hiking spots and a small ski resort with a short season.</p>
<p>The country’s prime minister Naftali Bennett announced plans to boost Israeli settlement in the territory in December.</p>
<p>The Trump administration broke with decades of American policy to recognise Israel’s claim to the Golan, making the United States the only country to do so.</p>
<p>Israel says it needs the Golan, which has soaring views over Lebanon and Syria, for its security.</p>
<p>Syria has long insisted the entire territory be returned to it in any peace deal.</p>
