Excerpts:
An infant was abandoned at a Tel Aviv airport by his parents, who tried to board their flight to Belgium without him after they failed to purchase a ticket for the child, authorities said.
The unnamed parents, who both held Belgian passports, had arrived at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Tuesday with their baby, planning to board a Ryanair flight to Brussels, the Israeli Airport Authority told local Channel 12.
But according to officials, the family arrived at Terminal 1 late, after the check-in counter had closed, and the parents were either unable or unwilling to buy a ticket for their child.
The mom and dad then left the carrier with their son next to the check-in counter while they rushed toward the security line so they could board the flight.
A short cellphone video that was reportedly recorded at the airport purports to show a woman looking at the baby in the carrier and exclaiming in Hebrew: “She left him here, I swear!”

A couple left their baby at an Israeli airport check-in while attempting to board a Ryanair flight after refusing to buy a ticket for the child.
Two parents with Belgian passports were detained by police after leaving their baby at the check-in at the Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, according to the Jerusalem Post.
The couple attempted to board a Ryanair flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they didn’t have a ticket for their baby.
They refused to pay for one and seemed to have left their baby in the stroller as they walked to passport control.
Airport staff noticed what had happened and contacted the police, who found the parents and took them in for questioning.
The manager of the Ryanair desk said everyone was in shock and told the Jerusalem Post: ‘We’ve never seen anything like this. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing.’
According to the Israel Airports Authority, what happened was that the couple arrived late to Terminal 1 after the check-in counter was closed.
They wanted to go through to deal with security and simply left their baby on the conveyor belt at the area.
