The bomb squad's remote-controlled robot inspects the suspicious package.
Rehovot's Weizmann street has been reopened to traffic following a security threat that forced its partial closure this early afternoon.
Police closed a section of Weizmann Street (hundred meters from the Central Police Station, SupeSol Supermarket and Bank Leumi branch, and few hundred meters away from the Weizmann Institute) earlier today after a suspicious package, later discovered to be an old bag, was left at a street sidewalk.
Police Special Operations Group officer inspected the package using a remote control bomb-disposal robot. It was not a bomb, however. "It was just an old bag and a coat that someone threw away at a sidewalk,'' Weizmann St. resident told MyRehovot. She also pointed us to a garbage container where shooted through bag was left after the robot inspection.
The robot was then driven back about 50 meters by the the police officer and loaded into a van before it was driven away and the traffic reopened at 13:00PM.
"It's like someone had left an old bag at a place not intended for garbage collection," another pedestrian told www.MyRehovot.info. Many Rehovot residents walked down the incident, but said police had to close the road after coming to the spot.
