Troops foiled an attempt to smuggle drugs into Israel from Egypt last night, the Israel Defense Forces says.
According to the IDF, soldiers seized some 140 kilograms (308 pounds) of an unspecified substance, estimated to be worth NIS 6 million ($1.7 million) near the border.
No arrests are made, as the suspects who apparently hurled the packages over the border fled back to Egypt. The drugs are taken by police for investigation.
