Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe group of teenagers caught in a flash flood earlier today, of which nine died and one is still missing, were high-school students who had enrolled in a pre-military academy, Dani Zamir, chairman of the Council of Pre-military Academies tells Channel 2 news.
The students, 17- and 18-year-olds, were on a “bonding trip” ahead of the program which begins in September, according to a publicly available schedule of the institutions activities.
Zamir says that the trip was not under the auspices of either the Education Ministry or the Defense Ministry.
