Education Ministry says it didn’t know about trip to storm-battered south

The Education Ministry says it was not informed of a trip to the south of Israel in which dozens of students were caught in a flash flood and several are feared dead.

“The trip was not reported to us, our situation room was not told in advance and we did not give any permission for such a trip,” the ministry says in a statement.

The students are reportedly from a pre-military academy in the north of Israel.
