Police say only one terrorist carried out shooting attack in Kochav Ya’ir

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Contrary to the military’s report, police say that only one terrorist carried out the shooting attack in the Kochav Ya’ir area.

Following a manhunt, police say officers located and shot dead the terrorist, a resident of the nearby Arab city of Tayibe.

The officers also located a weapon used in the attack, a makeshift “Carlo,” also known as the Carl Gustav, submachine gun.

The IDF’s report of a second attacker who fled and was later shot dead appears to be erroneous and likely refers to the first terrorist.
