Israeli Citizens Charged With Smuggling Drugs, Cigarettes to Gaza Using Drones
Israeli prosecutors on Monday charged three Arab Israeli citizens with using drones to smuggle drugs and cigarettes from Israel into the Gaza Strip. According to the indictment, the three men carried out multiple smuggling operations using drones capable of carrying up to 25 pounds, which were left inside Gaza after deliveries. Prosecutors said the activity endangered national security, as Hamas could repurpose the drones for attacks.
