Israeli Authorities Confiscate Drone Shipments to Gaza

JERUSALEM, Israel – Israeli authorities at the Erez Crossing with the Gaza Strip, in cooperation with the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and the Israel Police thwarted a number of attempts to smuggle weapons into the coastal enclave.

The task force also included the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Customs, and the Defense Ministry's Israeli Crossing Points Authority, Israel Defense reported.
