Twenty-four students were injured, one fatally, in an explosion of a munition during a school trip on the Ramim ridge on October 12. The students, all eighth-graders from the ORT religious school in Ma'alot-Tarshiha, were on an outing coordinated by the Ministry of Education's operational center.
According to Eliyahu Galil, the father of one of the students, the teenagers discovered an unexploded munition, described as resembling a cluster bomb with a shaped charge. They reportedly played with it and took photographs before it detonated. Galil stated that the explosion occurred after one student placed the munition in a backpack, which was then on the ground.
Of the 24 injured students, one died, three sustained severe injuries, ten are in moderate condition, and ten are in mild condition. Multiple rescue services responded to the scene.
Victims were transported to several hospitals. The Ziv Medical Center in Safed received 13 injured individuals, reporting two in severe condition, three in moderate, and eight with minor injuries. The Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa received four, with one in severe condition, two moderate, and one mild. The Nassariya Medical Center received six, with two in severe but stable condition, two moderate, and two mild. Those in moderate condition are scheduled for surgeries to remove shrapnel, while those in mild condition are undergoing examinations before transfer to pediatric surgery.
The police commissioner indicated that restrictions on such events might be imposed in the near future.
