Troops foil an attempt to smuggle drugs into Israel from Egypt this morning, the Israel Defense Forces says.

According to the IDF, soldiers seized some 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of hashish, estimated to be worth NIS 1.65 million ($470,000) near the border.

No arrests are made, as the suspects who apparently hurled the packages over the border fled back to Egypt. The drugs are seized by police for investigation.
