The IDF says it foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Egypt yesterday, using a drone.
The drone was identified crossing the border from Egypt into Israel, before it was downed.
Troops dispatched to the scene found that the drone was ferrying four rifles and a handgun, the military adds.
It is the second such incident in recent weeks.
