Approximately 20 hikers were injured on Monday in northern Israel near Ramim Ridge when an unexploded ordnance detonated. One person is in critical condition, two others are seriously injured, and 15 teenagers are being evaluated by medical teams. The incident occurred near the community of Yiftah.
The Ministry of Education stated that it is cooperating with security forces and professional bodies to provide assistance to the affected students and educational staff. "This is an extremely difficult incident, and our thoughts are with the injured and their families," the ministry said in a statement. They also urged the public to act responsibly and refrain from spreading unverified information as the details are still being clarified.
Numerous rescue forces, including Israeli Air Force helicopters, were dispatched to the scene. At least three of the injured were airlifted to the hospital. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the explosion and are sweeping the area to ensure there are no additional unexploded munitions. One possibility being examined is that the blast was caused by a rocket left over from the war that failed to detonate. Security forces have confirmed the situation is under full control.
