A school trip in northern Israel turned deadly when a student picked up an unexploded ordnance, believed to be a cluster munition fragment fired by Hezbollah, and placed it in his backpack. The ordnance detonated shortly after, killing one person and injuring 19 others, seven of whom sustained serious or moderate injuries. The incident occurred during an annual trip for students and staff from the Orot Ma'alot high school in the Ramim Ridge area of the Upper Galilee. Initial investigations suggest the student found the munition during a break near the Far Lookout. Despite previous sweeps of the area by police and the IDF, the ordnance remained undiscovered and accessible. Emergency services, including MDA, IDF units, air force helicopters, and bomb disposal teams, responded to the scene. The IDF is continuing its investigation into how the munition remained in the area and how the student was able to collect it.
