Police are investigating the possibility that a student on a trip in northern Israel found an unexploded ordnance (UXO) and placed it in his backpack, where it later detonated while he was with his classmates on a trail. Simultaneously, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are examining whether the trip was approved to pass through the area and if the approval followed standard procedures. The investigation also seeks to determine if the explosive was military equipment left behind by IDF units or if it was Hezbollah ordnance that was fired but failed to detonate.
The incident occurred during a hike in northern Israel. The focus of the police investigation is on how the explosive came to be in the student's possession and the circumstances of its detonation. The IDF's parallel inquiry aims to ensure proper protocols were followed for the excursion, particularly concerning the route taken and the potential presence of unexploded ordnance in the area.
