Israel's Ministry of Education plans to cancel all educational excursions in the country's north starting tomorrow morning, following a deadly incident. Minister of Education Yoav Kisch is expected to announce the decision at a press conference this evening. The move comes after a cluster bomb explosion near Kibbutz Iftah killed a teenager and injured 24 others, all of whom were students and their accompanying teachers on a school trip. Preliminary investigations suggest the boy picked up the cluster munition and placed it in his backpack, where it detonated. Radio station Kan Bet reported that the Ministry of Education had authorized the excursion and that the "ORT-Ma'alot" school administration had received all necessary permits from relevant authorities. However, a large "Jewish National Fund" (KKL) sign was reportedly posted before the Naftali Forest, where the tragedy occurred, warning that entry into the surrounding forests and campsites was strictly prohibited due to the ongoing dangers from military activity.
