The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will immediately resume its operation to locate unexploded ordnance (UXO) in northern Israel following a fatal incident on Mount Ramim. The operation, which involves re-scanning areas already searched after the previous conflict, could last for weeks. The decision comes after Elazar Vilensky was killed on Monday by the explosion of what is believed to be a Hezbollah cluster munition.
During the recent war, the IDF documented the impact zones of rockets and missiles in the north. Following the cessation of hostilities, forces conducted an extensive search for UXO to prevent civilian casualties. Explosive ordnance disposal teams are currently investigating the Mount Ramim explosion site to determine the cause and origin of the munition. A piece of suspected rocket shrapnel was found in the area and is being examined for a connection to the fatal blast.
The renewed search will cover areas previously scanned, utilizing data collected during the war. The IDF emphasized that the public can continue to travel in the north while adhering to safety guidelines.
