A former head of the emergency squad in Menara, Tamir Doadi, described the harrowing scene after an old munition exploded near Ramim Ridge, close to Kibbutz Yiftah, on Monday. Doadi, who was among the first responders, recounted treating between 15 to 20 injured individuals before official rescue forces arrived. The explosion, which occurred during a trip, killed one person and injured 24 others, including students and staff from the Orot Yavne High Yeshiva. Doadi, visibly emotional, described the victims as "youngsters, children," some of whom were holding their friends while receiving treatment. He detailed his efforts to direct the initial care, including applying tourniquets and requesting assistance from the young survivors themselves. Doadi also praised the composure and cooperation of the youth involved in the incident. Rescue teams, including Magen David Adom, fire services, and police, were dispatched to the scene. Helicopters were used to evacuate the injured from the area, though a temporary traffic jam caused by military vehicles briefly complicated the evacuation efforts. Doadi remained at the scene to assist until the situation was fully managed.
