Security forces investigating a deadly incident in the Upper Galilee Regional Council have determined that the explosion was not caused by unexploded ordnance in an open area, but rather by a munition collected by a student. According to the initial investigation by security forces and bomb disposal experts at the scene, located between Kibbutz Menara and Yiftah on the Ramim ridge, the student placed the munition in his personal bag.
