The Israel Police bomb demolition technicians were called to deal with a dangerous artillery shell found in the yard of a house in the Beis Yisrael neighborhood of Jerusalem

The technicians came to the house following a report to the 100 emergency call center about a shell that was found in the yard of a house. During the initial treatment of the item, the residents and curiosity seekers were removed from the area and the shell was safely removed by the technicians in order to transfer it to a remote site where it would be destroyed.

Following are some instructions from the Israel Police to the public on how to act in similar cases:
* Immediately upon recognition of a possibly dangerous or unknown item, stay away as far as possible, keep away and warn other people.
* An immediate report must be submitted to the Israel Police.
* It is forbidden to try to get close to the item in order to photograph / touch it.
* It is forbidden to collect weapons from fire areas and in general to bring them to a residential area.
