The IDF has ruled out the possibility of a second attacker after troops killed a gunman on the Lebanon border earlier today.
Residents of the border communities of Misgav Am, Margaliot, and Manara had been instructed to remain in their homes after troops shot the gunman dead.
Local authorities have now informed residents that the army has completed its scans in the area, with no additional findings.
“As a result, the instructions to the public have been lifted, and the road closures have been removed,” a statement from the Upper Galilee Regional Council reads.
