A cluster bomb remnant exploded Monday in the Upper Galilee, killing one student and injuring 24 others during a field trip to Mount Ramim. Inspector General of Police, Rabbi Nitzav Dany Levy, visited the site and stated that initial checks indicate the trip had all necessary approvals. He also indicated that field trips may be suspended in the coming days.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that preliminary investigations suggest the remnant was a cluster munition fired during the recent war. Hospitals in northern Israel have established information centers for families of the injured. Ziv Medical Center in Safed can be reached at 1255151, and Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa at 1255144.
Eliyahu Galil, father of a student who participated in the trip, told Channel 13 News that his son saw some students holding and photographing the remnant. Other students recounted that the deceased student found the remnant and brought it for others to photograph before the explosion, and that the students themselves triaged the wounded.
Fourteen-year-old Eitan Massauri, who was injured by shrapnel in the neck, recounted his experience to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Rambam Hospital, saying he understood he was injured and then saw his friend wounded while trying to help him.
