The IDF says it foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Syria earlier today.
Soldiers of the 595th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit, who operate surveillance cameras, spotted two suspects approaching the Israeli border from Syria.
Troops of the Golan Regional Brigade were dispatched to the scene and detained the pair, who were found to be carrying five handguns, the IDF says.
The two suspects were taken for further questioning, the military adds.
