Israel's Ministry of Education announced on October 13-14 that school trips planned for the confrontation line and northern Golan Heights will be rerouted to alternative locations. This decision follows a fatal incident on the Ramim ridge where a student from the Ort Ma'alot Yeshiva High School was killed. A situation room, led by the Minister of Education and the ministry's director-general, convened after the event. The change applies to areas designated in the Home Front Command's defense map. Groups currently in these areas have been instructed to leave their routes and move to alternatives, coordinating with the Ministry of Education's trip center. Trips in the rest of the country will proceed as scheduled. Safety guidelines have been reinforced nationwide, emphasizing caution regarding unexploded ordnance. Requests for route changes or exemptions will be reviewed by the trip center, and the approval framework for activities will continue to be examined with relevant parties in the coming days. The ministry expressed sorrow over the student's death and stated it is supporting the injured and their families. The psychological and counseling services are working to identify those affected and provide emotional support. The school day at Ort Ma'alot Yeshiva High School will be adjusted tomorrow to focus on supporting students and educational staff.
