A former head of the emergency squad in Menara, Tamir Doadi, described the harrowing moments after an old munition exploded near Misgav Am on Monday, killing one person and injuring 19 others. Doadi, who was the first on the scene, provided aid to the wounded before emergency services arrived. The victims included students and staff from the Orot Ma'alot high school, who were on a trip when the old munition detonated.
Doadi recounted being called to the scene and immediately dispatching Magen David Adom, fire and rescue teams, and police while en route. Upon arrival, he took command and began treating the injured, many of whom had limb injuries. He directed the initial treatment and evacuation priorities, coordinating with arriving medical teams.
Evacuations were carried out via helicopter to Misgav Hussein. Doadi noted that the road became congested with military vehicles, causing some logistical challenges, but all 15 to 20 injured individuals were eventually evacuated. He expressed hope for their recovery, describing the event as "not easy."
Visibly emotional, Doadi spoke of the young victims, some of whom were helping their friends while receiving treatment. He praised their resilience and cooperation, stating, "You hear, these are young guys, kids. You see them, sitting like this, holding their friends. And you treat them, you put a tourniquet on them, and you ask them for help. I need to manage them so they help me." He stayed at the scene until all operations were complete.
