A 14-year-old boy was killed by an unexploded ordnance in northern Israel. The incident highlights failures within government ministries responsible for clearing such dangers. The Authority for the Disposal of Mines and Unexploded Ordnance (ADMO), established in 2011 to clear non-essential minefields and since 2018 responsible for unexploded ordnance sites, has been operating without a permanent director. The article criticizes the Defense Minister for attempting to address this issue through ethnic mobilization, the Education Minister for promoting political appointments instead of addressing ministry failures, and the Finance Minister for taking credit from officials he allegedly humiliated. The author suggests the "change bloc" is preoccupied with Prime Minister Netanyahu rather than these issues.
