An investigation is underway into the circumstances surrounding a fatal explosion on Mount Ramim that killed a 14-year-old student. The initial assessment by the IDF suggests the explosive device was likely a Hezbollah cluster munition previously fired at Israeli forces in the area. Cluster munitions disperse smaller bomblets over a wide area, some of which may fail to detonate and remain dangerous long after deployment. One theory being examined is that an unexploded bomblet, left over from a previous attack, was concealed by the terrain, vegetation, and mud. This unexploded ordnance may have gone undetected during area sweeps. According to reports, the student found the munition and placed it in his bag. Investigators are considering the possibility that contact with the armed device triggered its detonation, causing the deadly blast. The IDF continues to search and operate in the region as the incident is thoroughly investigated.
