School Trip Approved Despite Warning, Student Killed by Ordnance

A 14-year-old student was killed by unexploded ordnance on Ramim Ridge during a school trip approved by the Education Ministry. The Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) had warned that the trail was closed due to war damage. Despite explicit warnings, the ministry's Situation Room approved the route. The Education Ministry claims the approved route avoided the restricted area and safety instructions were given. An investigation by the IDF and police is underway to determine the incident's circumstances.

CrowdStrike Deal Values Israeli Firm XM Cyber's Tech at $600 Million

Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revealed the full $600 million value of its acquisition of Israeli company XM Cyber's technology, primarily paid in stock. The deal, initially announced in July with only $145 million in cash, has seen its stock component surge due to CrowdStrike's rising share price. XM Cyber, founded by former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo and others, was previously sold to Germany's Schwarz Group for $700 million in 2021. CrowdStrike is acquiring XM Cyber's code and patents, not its revenue or clients.
