A cluster bomb attack by Hezbollah on the northern border killed a 14-year-old boy and injured dozens of students during a school trip. The incident occurred near Mitzpe Pe'er while eighth-grade students from the Ort Ma'alot Yeshiva were on an annual trip. Three students sustained severe injuries, while many others were hurt to varying degrees.
The tragedy has sparked widespread public anger and raised serious questions about the approval of routes in high-risk areas. Social media star Bar Cohen shared her distress over the event, posting tearful videos expressing her inability to bear the pain and questioning why children are exposed to such dangers. "Why should a child have to pay the price?" she asked, reflecting the anxieties of many parents.
Cohen, a mother herself, revealed her deep concerns, admitting she trusts the system with such decisions but questioned if she would have considered the danger if her son had a similar trip. The trip, which had been approved by the Ministry of Education's situation room, turned fatal when, according to initial investigations, students found a dangerous unexploded ordnance, took photos with it, and it detonated in a bag.
TV presenter Ofira Assayag also criticized the Ministry of Education, demanding answers about the approval chain that allowed students to travel to a dangerous area. The incident has led to calls for a comprehensive review and systemic lessons learned to prevent future tragedies. Experts emphasize the need for increased supervision of trip routes, mandatory explosive ordnance disposal, and extensive safety education for students.
