One day after a fatal accidental explosion at the Ramim Ridge, it was reported that an army outpost near Kibbutz Yiftah and the Nakeki Yiftah Nature Reserve was abandoned, leaving ammunition and military equipment unsecured.
The incident occurred a day after the accidental explosion at Ramim Ridge, which killed 17-year-old Elazar Yair Wilensky and injured 24 students and staff members. The abandoned outpost, located near the nature reserve and the site of the previous day's disaster, was found to contain numerous munitions and military equipment left without security.
