Following a serious incident in northern Israel, the Home Front Command has updated its safety guidelines. The command is reminding the public that in any situation where a suspicious object is found, individuals should maintain a safe distance, avoid touching it, and move away from the area immediately. Reports should be made to the Israel Police hotline at 100. The updated instructions come after a tragic event where a student found an unexploded cluster bomb during a trip with his classmates from the "Orot Ma'alot" high school near Mount Ramim. The student placed the device in his backpack, which apparently led to its detonation. The explosion resulted in the death of ninth-grader Elazar Yair Wilensky and injuries to dozens of others. As of Tuesday morning, two individuals remain in serious condition at Ziv Medical Center, with a total of 13 injured students still hospitalized.
