The IDF says it foiled an attempt to smuggle weapons into Israel from Egypt using a drone last night. Troops located the drone after it crossed the border and was shot down. It was found to be ferrying three assault rifles, the military says.

The IDF's statement did not clarify whether the smuggled weapons were intended for terrorists in Gaza or criminal gangs in southern Israel.

The Israeli army and the United Nations’ peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) said peacekeepers shot down an Israeli drone over the weekend but gave conflicting statements about the circumstances.

Rescuers say at least 20 people have been injured in southern Israel after the Israeli military said a drone was launched from Yemen. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the drone struck the resort town of Eilat on the Red Sea coast, with attempts made to intercept it.

The drone operation was carried out with Israel's consent and is being used to monitor ground activity in the area. The United States is flying surveillance drones over the Gaza Strip to monitor the US-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas,

Israel launched its largest series of airstrikes against Yemen's Houthis after a drone attack targeting Eilat.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered the Israeli military to carry out “immediate, powerful” strikes in Gaza.

The video, filmed by an IDF drone that had been in the area, shows Hamas members placing Tzarfati's remains in a freshly dug hole before covering the remains with dirt. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum and the Tzarfati family slammed Hamas and its continued psychological warfare,
