Police closed the branch of the Bezek Ben-Leumi international phone company and internet service on Hashachar Street in Petach Tikva Sunday afternoon after an envelope with a suspicious brown powder arrived there from Ireland. The worker who opened the envelope said workers around him started feeling itchy in the upper part of their bodies.

Bezek's security officer called police and the Magen David Adom emergency service. The affected workers were treated and released. The envelope was sent to a laboratory of the Environmental Protection Service for analysis.
