Following an explosion involving unexploded ordnance (UXO) on the Ramim Ridge on Monday, access to the Naftali Mountains scenic route, which passes through the area, remained closed on Tuesday. The Northern Command declared the region a closed military zone for 48 hours immediately after the incident, with the closure expected to last until at least Wednesday afternoon.
Responsibility for safety in the area is being shifted between organizations. KKL-JNF stated that a sign warning against entry to the location where students had been was placed in 2025, but operations there only began in June of this year. The IDF declared the area a closed military zone and initiated a search for UXO only after Monday's explosion.
