Two more attempts to smuggle weapons and other contraband into Israel from Egypt, using drones, were foiled this morning, the military says.

The IDF says that in the pre-dawn hours, troops located a drone after it crossed the border and was downed, and found it to be ferrying two assault rifles, magazines and ammunition.

A second drone was found this morning with other unspecified contraband, the IDF adds.

Earlier today, the IDF said overnight it captured another drone with two assault rifles.
