Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went to Rambam Hospital together with Education Minister Yoav Kisch to visit those who were wounded in the severe incident in the north, and their families. The Prime Minister instructed the Commander of the IDF Home Front Command to reinforce the guidelines and warnings for the general public, emphasize the strict prohibition against touching unexploded ordnance, and to conduct extensive searches to locate unexploded items.
Eitan Masauri, a 14-year-old student who was injured by shrapnel in his neck, recounted the incident: "I realized I was hurt; I saw that a friend was injured, and I tried to help him."
