A group of schoolchildren and teachers hiking near the Pe'er observation point on the Ramim ridge in northern Israel, close to the Lebanon border, were caught in an explosion.

Magen David Adom: 8 people are in serious and moderate condition, with several more lightly hurt. Medics are treating the wounded at the scene and a helicopter has been dispatched to move them to hospital.

The IDF has sent Israeli Air Force helicopters to assist the evacuation and troops are on site. Unexploded ordnance is believed to be behind the blast, but the circumstances are still under investigation.
