US Embassy in Israel issues safety warning about unexploded ordnances after school trip explosion
The warning followed the death of Elazar Yair Wilensky, who was killed when unexploded Hezbollah ammunition detonated during the school trip.
The US Embassy in Israel has issued a safety warning to American citizens regarding unexploded ordnances and munitions found across extensive areas of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. This warning came a day after an explosion during a school trip in northern Israel killed a teenager and injured 24 others. The embassy emphasized that the danger is particularly great near border areas, and that the locations of unexploded ordnances are often unmarked and difficult to identify.
The embassy stressed the importance of assuming any unidentified object is dangerous and following a three-step safety rule: recognize, retreat, and report.
