A Delta Air Lines plane scheduled to depart from New York for Israel<\/a> was held before takeoff at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York following a bomb threat. Flight DL234 was scheduled to depart at 10:40 p.m. Israel time.<\/p>\n

The aircraft was denied clearance for takeoff after police received a phone call claiming that a bomb had been planted on board. Authorities suspect that the caller may be the same individual who earlier claimed that a bomb had been placed on a Delta flight that landed at Ben-Gurion Airport on Tuesday morning. That aircraft was searched, and the incident ended without any unusual findings.<\/p>\n

The flight<\/a> was only permitted to depart once US security authorities had completed their inspections and clearance had been granted by Israeli security.<\/p>\n

The incident follows a similar bomb threat earlier<\/a> Tuesday, when a Delta aircraft arriving at Ben-Gurion Airport from New York was moved to an isolated parking area after the Israel Airports Authority received an anonymous report of a suspicious object on board that could contain explosives.<\/p>\n

All passengers were evacuated from the aircraft, and security personnel conducted searches to rule out the possibility of an explosive device.<\/p>\n

No suspicious objects or explosives were reported. Although security officials assessed\u00a0the threat as likely a\u00a0hoax<\/a>, they decided to thoroughly inspect\u00a0the aircraft as a precaution.<\/p>\n

The Israel Airports Authority later confirmed the incident was resolved, stating, “The incident ended with no unusual findings.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Delta Air Lines plane scheduled to depart from New York for Israel was held before takeoff at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372615,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[112940,8749,18128,137189,137188,60,9,11,10,70061,2721,901,820],"class_list":["post-372614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-ben-gurion-airport","tag-bomb-threat","tag-delta","tag-delta-airline","tag-delta-flights-to-israel","tag-israel","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-plane","tag-security","tag-united-states","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
