The couple then tried to leave for Brussels.
A shocking incident happened the day before in Israel. A married couple left their child at the check-in counter at the airport because they did not want to buy him a ticket. The husband and wife were trying to board a flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they did not have a ticket for their child. So they asked the airport workers to let the child in for free, but they were denied.
The couple left the stroller at the counter and boarded. The airport workers immediately called the police, who detained the parents. As the employees of the check-in counter noted, this was the first time they had encountered such a case in all their time of work.
