Emergency procedures were activated, and an operations room was convened, supervised by the Education Minister and the Director-General of the Ministry.
Trips scheduled in the coming days in "confrontation line areas" and the northern Golan, as defined by the Home Front Command, will be moved to alternative routes. Groups currently on trips in these regions have been instructed to leave their planned itineraries and proceed to alternate paths, coordinated with the Ministry's trip center. School trips nationwide will proceed as usual, with heightened safety instructions emphasizing caution regarding unexploded ordnance.
The Ministry stated that all requests for route changes or exceptions will be evaluated in coordination with the trip center. The Ministry, in conjunction with relevant authorities, will continue to study the approval process for activities. Support is being provided to the injured students, their families, and the school staff. Psychological and educational counseling specialists are identifying affected individuals and offering emotional support. The school day at "Ort Ma'alot" will be adapted to focus on supporting students and staff.
