IDF and Border Police Foil Two Smuggling Attempts Along Western Border

Southern Border Police undercover officers and IDF forces foiled two separate smuggling operations in the Paran Brigade area near Israel's western border, the police said. In the first operation, forces detained two suspects linked to alleged weapons and drug smuggling and found a large drone believed to have been used for border runs. In a separate operation, they seized an off-road vehicle carrying a large quantity of substances suspected to be drugs. The two detainees and all seized material were transferred to the Segev Shalom police station for further investigation.
