The IDF says the explosive that detonated among students and teachers during a hike in northern Israel’s Ramim Ridge area was likely a cluster submunition from a Hezbollah rocket left behind in the area. Police say the device exploded in the hands of a student along the Naftali Mountains Forest scenic route, killing a 15-year-old boy and injuring 24 others. The hike reportedly had been officially approved, and police are now restricting access to the area while IDF and police sappers continue sweeping the route for additional unexploded ordnance.
