Following the drone's detection, military forces were dispatched to its suspected landing area. A search operation led to the discovery of the drone and its illicit cargo.
The confiscated items included nine Kalashnikov rifles, magazines for the rifles, and a pistol. The IDF stated that the weapons were intended for smugglers.
All seized weapons have been handed over to security authorities for further investigation and legal proceedings. The IDF did not specify the exact location along the eastern border where the interception occurred.
