The IDF says it foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Egypt earlier today, using a drone.
The drone had been identified crossing the border from Egypt into Israel, before it was downed by troops of the Border Defense Corps’ Caracal Battalion.
Troops at the scene found that the drone was ferrying four rifles, five magazines and hundreds of bullets, the military adds.
