Despite prominent "Danger, Entry Forbidden" signs posted by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) since May, students involved in a fatal incident in the Upper Galilee entered the disaster area through an unmarked entrance. The JNF is investigating why the Ministry of Education approved the route, given the existing warnings. The signs, intended to prevent access due to war damage and JNF restoration work, explicitly stated that entry and presence in the area were prohibited, citing hundreds of casualties in the past two years of conflict. The students, on a trip approved by the Ministry of Education as part of the Israel Trail, accessed the site via a different path where no warning signs were placed. The Ministry of Education stated the trip was approved within the framework of the Israel Trail. The incident resulted in the death of a 14-year-old boy and injuries to 24 others, including students and teachers from the ORT Ma'alot junior high school. Three individuals remain in serious condition, ten in moderate, and the rest in light condition. An initial IDF investigation suggests the explosive device was a cluster bomb remnant from Hezbollah. A local resident, Tamir Duadi, who was among the first responders, described the chaotic rescue efforts and expressed his grief over the young age of the victims.
