An explosion involving military remnants near Kibbutz Yiftah on Israel's northern border critically injured four individuals from a school group, including two who lost consciousness. The incident occurred during a school trip involving teachers and students. Medical teams are providing emergency treatment in the field to the two unconscious victims, while two others are in very serious condition. In total, 12 people were injured, with the remaining eight sustaining minor to moderate wounds.
Military and Magen David Adom (MDA) crews are working to stabilize the unconscious victims at the scene. Military helicopters and medical transport aircraft are evacuating the wounded via an airlift to trauma and emergency departments at northern hospitals, including Ziv Hospital in Safed and Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
Large IDF forces have cordoned off the area around Yiftah, and engineering units are sweeping the vicinity for unexploded ordnance.

The investigation aims to understand the circumstances that led to the approval of the route in such a dangerous area.
