An explosion involving unexploded ordnance occurred on Monday in the Upper Galilee region near the Lebanese border, resulting in one fatality and injuries to nineteen others, including critical and severe cases according to medical estimates. Field data indicated that the
incident caused these casualties, with three injured individuals in serious condition, while rescue teams described the operation as complex as the evacuation and transport of the wounded to hospitals continued during the early hours of the event. It was later
revealed that the victims included students and educational staff members who were participating in a school trip in the northern border area, amid local field assumptions that the blast was caused by unexploded military ordnance. Concurrently, investigations are ongoing to
determine the nature of the object that caused the explosion, whether it was a projectile or war remnants, alongside reviewing the circumstances of the group's entry to the site, while the Ministry of Education confirmed that the itinerary taken by
the participants was authorized and permitted for travel.
