IDF troops foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons from Jordan into Israel using a drone last night, the military says.

According to the IDF, troops of the Bardelas Brigade operating in an area south of the Dead Sea spotted a drone flying over the border. Later, the drone was located, and it was found to be ferrying seven handguns, the army adds.
