Following a serious incident involving unexploded ordnance in the Upper Galilee, the head of the Regional Council, Assaf Langlevan, is demanding that the IDF thoroughly search open areas accessible to hikers and learn lessons from the event. Despite the danger, Langlevan emphasized that tourism and hiking in the region, which he described as one of Israel's most beautiful areas, are essential for educating children about loving the country and will continue. He stated that the combination of the IDF's prolonged military operations in the area and the presence of unexploded ordnance created a fatal situation.
Langlevan confirmed that children evacuated from the site were being reunited with their families. He indicated that hiking activities would likely proceed the following day, as residents have been living and hiking near the border since their return to the area. The incident occurred in an area open to the public, located on a scenic route, and not a closed military zone. He stressed that the council's responsibility is to prevent hikers from encountering such dangers.
Langlevan made a firm demand to the IDF to conduct comprehensive searches of open areas to ensure such an event does not recur, even if it requires significant troop deployment. He expressed hope that this would be the last such incident.
