A former head of the emergency squad in Menara, Tamir Doadi, described the harrowing moments after an old munition exploded near Ramim Ridge, close to Kibbutz Yiftah, on Monday. Doadi, who was the first to arrive at the scene, recounted treating between 15 to 20 of the injured before emergency services arrived. The blast killed one person and injured 24 others, including students and staff from the Orot Ma'alot high school who were on a trip. Doadi, visibly emotional, described the victims as "youngsters, children," some of whom were holding their friends while receiving treatment. He detailed how he directed initial medical care, including applying tourniquets, and assisted in evacuating the wounded, some of whom were airlifted from a designated point. Doadi praised the young people for their composure and assistance despite the traumatic circumstances, noting their cooperation until MDA paramedics arrived. He remained at the scene to assist emergency forces.
Doadi was alerted to the incident by a friend and immediately called for Magen David Adom, fire and rescue teams, and police. Upon arrival, he took command of the situation, prioritizing treatment for those with limb injuries. He coordinated the evacuation of the wounded to a staging area where helicopters were waiting. Doadi expressed hope for the recovery of all those injured in the "not easy event."
