Following a fatal incident in the Ramim Ridge area, Israel's Minister of Education, Yoav Kisch, announced a sweeping cancellation of all educational system trips in the northern region, effective Tuesday morning. The decision comes after a tragic explosion of unexploded ordnance (UXO) killed a 16-year-old high school student and injured 19 others. The group, from the "Ohrut Ma'alot" high school, was on a trip near the Upper Galilee's Ramim Ridge when the incident occurred. Initial investigations by the IDF suggest a student brought a piece of UXO, likely a cluster bomb from Hezbollah, into his bag. The ordnance detonated while the group was near the road. The injured were evacuated by helicopter and ambulance to northern hospitals, including Rambam, Ziv, and Poriya. The IDF and police are continuing their investigation and searching the area for additional unexploded ordnance.
