01 · THE DISPATCH

Israeli police, operating with a canine unit, announced Monday the seizure of a drone, equipment for its operation, and roughly 16 kg of suspected dangerous drugs — cocaine, hashish and cannabis — during a targeted operational activity. Police valued the haul at millions of shekels. No arrests were reported in the initial police statement. The bust is the latest in a series of drug seizures this month; earlier police operations netted significant quantities of cocaine and cannabis across various regions, including a NIS 10 million haul in central Israel and multiple lab busts in the Kiryat area. It remains unclear whether the drone was used for drug transport or another purpose, as no further details have been released.
