Eliyahu Galil, the father of a teenager who was on a school trip in northern Israel, described the incident where an unexploded ordnance detonated, killing one 15-year-old student and injuring approximately 20 others. Galil stated that the situation could have ended much worse. He revealed that his son had sent him a picture of the explosive device after the event, noting that the students had even held it. The explosion did not occur immediately, according to Galil. "They were excited about it, took pictures, apparently one of the children put it in a bag, and it exploded when the bag was on the side," he explained. The students were reportedly enthusiastic about the find and posed for photos with it before it was placed in a bag, leading to the delayed detonation.
