Unexploded bomb



The tourists told officials that one of their kids found the shell during a sightseeing tour of the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from the Syrians during the Six-Day War in 1967.

Local news outlet reported that the family was unaware of the danger involved in lugging the unexploded ordnance.

After being grilled about their explosive souvenir, the family was allowed to board their flight. It was not immediately clear where the family was head.

Picking up unexploded ordinance to use for a souvenir is not the smartest thing for a family to do.

People this stupid shouldn't be allowed out of their own home without constant supervision. Sort of like the guy living in the white house.

Darwin should have taken care of this problem. We coddle the dumb too much — that’s why they breed.
Israelis should have driven the whole family to the middle of the desert, given them several hammers and told that there’s delicious candy inside the metal thingy.

Most people think that mortar shells are purely kinetic

I wish I could see if this has a base fuse, there certainly does not appear to be a nose fuse

I'm guessing it's a tank shell, it's definitely not a mortar round.
