Israeli police detained two travelers with Belgian passports after airport staff watched the couple seemingly abandon their baby at airport check-in. The parents arrived at the Ben Gurion Airport to catch a Ryanair flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they had arrived late and check-in had already closed. It remains unclear whether the parents could not or simply refused to pay for another ticket for their baby as they had arrived without one. In hopes of clearing security and reaching their flight on time, the parents simply left the baby on the conveyor belt in the check-in area, local outlet Channel 12 news reported.
