Israeli security forces have foiled an attempt to smuggle dozens of grenades and two firearms into Israel from Lebanon on last night, in what police say was part of a terror plot.
According to the Israeli Police, some 100 fragmentation grenades and two rifles were found in a bag left on the border by two suspects: “The suspicion is that they were intended to be used to carry out terrorist attacks”.
The military published a video showing two suspects approaching the border.
These 2 suspects were spotted by our soldiers approaching Israel from Lebanon along the Blue Line yesterday.
They were attempting to smuggle 2 weapons and approx. 100 grenades into Israel.
We will continue operating against any attempt to violate Israeli sovereignty. pic.twitter.com/s7Z6dBVzsl
