| [IsraelTimes] The IDF says it foiled yet another attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Egypt using a drone last night. The drone had been identified crossing the border from Egypt into Israel before it was downed by troops deployed to the area. The drone was found to be ferrying 19 handguns and three machine guns. The contraband and drone were handed over to the police. In recent months, there have been frequent attempts to bring weapons and drugs over the Egypt border using drones. There have also been attempts to smuggle similar contraband from Israel into Gaza using drones.
IDF forces foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons from Egypt to Israel Last night, IDF surveillance in the Paran Brigade area identified a drone that crossed from Egyptian territory into Israeli territory in an attempt to smuggle weapons. The drone was shot down by IDF forces, and during searches conducted by IDF fighters, the drone was located, carrying 19 pistols, three machine guns, and ammunition. The weapons were transferred to the security forces for further processing. |

| #1 Are these auto-programmed autonomous drones or ground guided units? Seems a pilot emitter would be detectible. |
