Northern Israel

More than a year has passed since Lebanon’s cabinet tasked the army with bringing all weapons under state control, but Hezbollah continues to fire at Israel and threaten civilians

Aliyah is about more than arrival. By creating opportunities for new Olim and rebuilding northern Israel, the country can turn solidarity into lasting growth and stronger communities.

Under the decision, each community evacuated during the fighting that has not yet received JNF support will receive 1.5 million NIS for infrastructure rehabilitation and development.

“If Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel, it will be dealt a heavy blow and lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in the areas of Nabatieh and Litani," said the defense minister.

Firefighters extricated a person who had been trapped inside the bus and was pronounced dead at the scene by Magen David Adom (MDA) personnel.

Wilensky was killed, and 24 others were wounded, when one of the students picked up an unexploded Hezbollah bomb and put it in his backpack.

The ministry says the approved hiking route avoided an area closed by KKL-JNF, as investigators examine the path taken before the deadly explosion.

The object was initially detected by surveillance personnel and Israel Air Force detection systems, which tracked its movement and directed troops on the ground as the incident unfolded.

Asaf Langleben urged the IDF to search hiking areas for unexploded ordnance following a deadly incident, but said local hikes would continue.

Northern District police officers and bomb disposal experts responded to the incident, which was declared a mass-casualty event by the IDF.
