The Israel Defense Forces says it has solved the way in which the suspected Hezbollah terrorist who planted a bomb at the Megiddo Junction crossed into Israel from Lebanon.
The IDF says the possibility of the terrorist crossing via a tunnel has been completely ruled out.
The military, however, does not detail exactly how the man who planted a bomb crossed into Israel.
“The IDF continues to study and investigate the incident and draw the necessary operational conclusions,” the military says.
