A section of the Naftali Forest in northern Israel, where a fatal explosion occurred during a school trip, had been marked with "Danger! Entry Forbidden!" signs by the Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF). The signs, posted in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, indicated that the area was closed due to war damage and that the fund was working on restoration and visitor safety. As early as May 25, 2025, KKL-JNF had announced the closure of a bicycle trail and scenic route in the Naftali Mountains Forest for post-war restoration. The school group was traversing this specific route when the incident took place. Despite the closure, police stated that the outing had been coordinated and received all necessary permits from authorities. Investigations are underway to clarify how the students ended up on the restricted path. Following the explosion, ten schoolchildren and one adult were hospitalized, and police announced they would be restricting access to the explosion site for several days.
