A group of weapons smugglers was captured by the IDF and police on the Egyptian border yesterday, authorities announce.

The military and police say that, following a pursuit on the border, three suspects were arrested. The off-road vehicles and drone equipment they used in the smuggling attempts were also captured, authorities say.

Over the past two years, there have been frequent attempts to bring weapons, and sometimes drugs, over the Egyptian border using drones.
