Fake bomb causes panic in Tel Aviv

JTA

A fake bomb planted at the Tel Aviv Port as part of a training exercise caused panic.

Ynet reported that an alert citizen on Monday noticed a man placing a box under a car and called police. The area was roped off and the port was evacuated.

An agent in training who was supposed to plant a fake bomb under the car caused the disruption, according to Ynet. The newspaper reported that three employees of one of Israel’s security agencies were suspended over the incident.

I read about this fake bomb incident on BBC news online. The BBC referred to Tel Aviv as Israel’s capital. I couldn’t find a comments section to correct them, but I can imagine how they’d react if an Israeli newspaper referred to Liverpool or Bognor Regis as the capital of England.
