A cluster munition fragment exploded on Monday in the Ramim Ridge area of northern Israel, between Menara and Yiftah, injuring between 12 and 14 students. The students, all around 15 years old, were on a tour with educational staff from the "800 Degrees" yeshiva. They reportedly spotted a suspicious object near the road. Initial reports suggest one student approached and touched the object, which then exploded.
