A 15-year-old student from ORT Maalot was killed and 19 others were injured when a sub-munition from a Hezbollah rocket exploded during a school hike in northern Israel on October 12, 2026. The initial investigation suggests the teenager found the munition, believed to be a BRB1 type, during the hike in the Ramim ridge area and placed it in his backpack. Minutes later, the munition detonated. Hezbollah had previously fired rockets containing such sub-munitions at northern Israel during a recent war. These munitions often fail to explode on impact and pose a significant danger. The group of schoolchildren and teachers were hiking in the Naftali Mountains when the incident occurred. Two of the injured are in serious condition, and three sustained moderate injuries. The military is continuing its investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy.
