A tragic incident occurred on Monday in the Upper Galilee's Ramim Ridge, where a student was killed and 19 others were injured during a school trip. The explosion originated from an ordnance item, likely unexploded ammunition found in the area, which a student had placed in his bag. The blast happened while the students, from the "Ohrut Ma'alot" Hesder Yeshiva, were near a road. The deceased was a 16-year-old student, and the injured include both students and teaching staff. In response, the IDF declared a mass casualty event, deploying numerous rescue forces, MDA ambulances, Unit 669 rescue fighters, and military and MDA helicopters for urgent evacuation. The wounded were transported to northern hospitals, including Ziv Medical Center in Safed, Poriya Hospital, and Rambam Medical Center in Haifa. Security and police forces are investigating how the student obtained the ordnance and its exact type. Engineering and police units are also sweeping the area for additional unexploded ordnance to ensure public safety.
