Troops foiled an attempt to smuggle drugs into Israel from Egypt overnight, the Israel Defense Forces says.
According to the IDF, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted four suspects near the border, allegedly involved in the smuggling.
Troops dispatched to the scene arrest the four and seize some 90 kilograms (200 pounds) of hashish, estimated to be worth NIS 2.3 million ($650,000 million).
The IDF publishes footage of the arrest.
The drugs and suspects are handed over to police for further investigation.
