The IDF says it foiled another attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Egypt via drone today.
Troops located the drone after it crossed the border and it was found to be ferrying three assault rifles, the military says.
In the past year, there have been frequent attempts to bring weapons and drugs over the Egyptian border using drones. There have also been attempts to smuggle similar contraband from Israel into Gaza using drones.
