The child was evacuated to Hadassah-University Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem for medical treatment, but was pronounced dead, ZAKA and Magen David Adom said.

Israel's Fire and Rescue Authority initially warned that hazardous chemicals may have leaked following the explosion, with the Kiryat Gat municipality asking residents to stay away from the area.

The warning followed the death of Elazar Yair Wilensky, who was killed when unexploded Hezbollah ammunition detonated during the school trip.

Kisch issued a statement later on Monday, noting that the students' field trip, including the route, was approved despite concerns over unexploded ordnance.

Northern District police officers and bomb disposal experts responded to the incident, which was declared a mass-casualty event by the IDF.

Despite the shooting, none of the soldiers was wounded. At this stage, it remains unclear why live ammunition was used during the exercise.
