A 15-year-old boy was killed and approximately 24 others were injured, three seriously, on Monday afternoon by the explosion of a cluster bomb remnant from the war. The incident occurred in the Matzpe Ramon area, near the border with Lebanon. The injured were teachers and students from the ORT vocational high school in Ma'alot Tarshiha, who were on a school trip.
Large numbers of rescue and medical teams, including 14 ambulances, were dispatched to the scene. The Israeli military deployed three Air Force helicopters, along with teams from the elite Unit 669 for rescue and evacuation, a field medical force, and explosive ordnance disposal teams from the Yahalom unit, to assist in the rescue and aftermath.
As investigations into the incident continue, one possibility being examined is that a student found the bomb and placed it in their backpack before it detonated. Paramedic Orly Ben Simon from Magen David Adom spoke about the incident by phone on Kan 11's "HaYom" program.
