During an operation to prevent drug smuggling on the Egyptian border, security forces identified dozens of suspects who arrived at the border last night, set up ladders, and began throwing sacks with material suspected of being drugs to the Israeli side of the border.
During the smuggling attempt, a number of suspects from the Egyptian side of the border opened fire at the fighters. The fighters responded with fire in accordance with open-fire regulations, resulting in the injury of a number of Egyptian smugglers. There are no casualties on the Israeli side.
