The IDF says the incident this evening on the Lebanese border has ended after the suspect who approached the fence in Lebanese territory withdrew from the area.
Troops worked to “remove the threat” and tracked the suspect during the incident, the army says.
After the suspect moved northward away from the border, the IDF says it declared the incident over.
