Youngsters Among Those Injured in Accidental Ammunition Explosion Near Misgav

A former head of the emergency squad in Menara, Tamir Doadi, described the harrowing moments after an old munition exploded near Misgav, killing one person and injuring 19 others. Doadi, who was among the first responders, recounted treating the wounded, many of whom were students and staff from the Orot Ma'alot high school yeshiva, before official rescue forces arrived. The explosion occurred during a trip in the area of Misgav Park, near Kibbutz Yiftah. Doadi was called to the scene and immediately began coordinating treatment and evacuation efforts, directing paramedics and firefighters who were en route. He described the scene as difficult, with many young people suffering limb injuries, but praised their resilience and cooperation. "You see them, sitting like this, holding their friends. And you treat them, apply a tourniquet, and you ask them for help," Doadi said tearfully. He noted that between 15 and 20 people were evacuated, and expressed hope for their recovery. Doadi remained at the scene until all casualties were evacuated, emphasizing the difficult nature of the event.
