Footage of the four-legged intruder, who is estimated to be 4 or 5 years old, shows the mule making its way across the departures area of Terminal 1 as travelers and staff look on. A woman can be heard giggling hysterically as the mule is guided through the airport by employees.

The workers reportedly gave the animal food and water before alerting officials within the Ministry of Agriculture, who came to retrieve the mule, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported.
