Corroborated · Ramim, Israel ·
A blast near Ramim (Manara) on the Lebanon border in northern Israel killed one teenager and injured between 12 and 24 people, mostly hikers or students. Figures differ by source: Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post say 24 injured, Al Jazeera and Times of Israel say 19, Magen David Adom says at least 20, and Middle East Spectator says 12 with at least 2 critical. The IDF says an initial review indicates the blast was likely caused by an unexploded Hezbollah cluster munition, and the cause is under investigation.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
