A day after a fatal explosion during a school trip in northern Israel killed a 10th-grade student and injured 24 others, unexploded ordnance was discovered by a child in Tiberias. The incident occurred following a deadly blast during a school trip in the north, which claimed the life of Elazar Yair Wilensky, a student at the Ort Ma'alot Hesder Yeshiva. Thirteen of the 24 injured students remain hospitalized. Initial investigations into the explosion suggest a student collected a munition during the trip and placed it in their bag, which the IDF believes to be a cluster bomb. The Ministry of Education stated the trip, attended by approximately 50 students from seventh to ninth grades, was approved by the situation room.
In parallel, a military post near Kibbutz Yiftach was found to be left unsecured, with a significant amount of military equipment, including munitions, remaining on its grounds. The discovery of the ordnance in Tiberias led to the closure of the area for its collection and a search for additional explosive items. The military post, located near the Nature Reserve of Nahal Yiftach and Kibbutz Yiftach, close to the explosion site, was reportedly abandoned by forces and left without security. According to reports, the site contained numerous military items, including packages of weapons, ammunition, bombs, and projectiles, with damaged structures and debris left behind. The IDF stated that the incident is known and will be addressed promptly, adding that several posts are undergoing rehabilitation and modification as part of defense preparations.
