Another attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Egypt using a drone was foiled, the military says.

The IDF says that troops of the Paran Regional Brigade, during scans on the border today, located a previously downed drone.

The drone was found to be ferrying 10 handguns and 30 magazines, according to the IDF. The weapons were handed over to the police for further investigation.

Earlier, the IDF announced it downed a drone ferrying three assault rifles over the Egyptian border.
