The IDF and Border Police (Magav) thwarted a smuggling attempt of drugs and weapons at the Egypt border, seizing an off-road vehicle, according to a report by ynet. No further details on arrests or the quantity of contraband were immediately provided.
The operation, reported by ynet on Tuesday morning, involved the seizure of an off-road vehicle carrying drugs and weapons along the Egypt border. The exact quantity of contraband and whether any arrests were made have not yet been disclosed.
Yesterday, The Zioneer reported that IDF and undercover Border Police units from the Paran Brigade foiled a smuggling cell using a drone along the same border, arresting two suspects. That operation also included the seizure of a separate off-road vehicle and a large quantity of drugs as part of the broader interdiction effort. The new report may be a follow-up on the same effort, though the specific connection remains unconfirmed.
