Troops foil an attempt to smuggle drugs into Israel from Egypt, the Israel Defense Forces says.
According to the Israeli military, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted the drug smuggling attempt and dispatched troops to the scene.
More than 300 kilograms (660 pounds) of marijuana flowers and hashish, estimated to be worth NIS 6 million ($1.8 million), were seized, the IDF says. No one was arrested in the raid, according to the army.
