IDF says it foiled drug smuggling attempt on Lebanon border

The Israeli military says it thwarted a drug smuggling attempt along the Lebanese border on Friday night.

Soldiers on patrol near the town of Ghajjar, which lies directly on the border between Israel and Lebanon, spotted suspects moving toward the frontier. When they reached the security fence, the troops found several bags containing drugs, the Israel Defense Forces says.

“The evidence was handed over to the Israel Police,” the military says.
