Israel Faces Drone Smuggling Into Gaza

Israeli officials report that drones are being smuggled into Gaza through routes involving Egypt and possibly Israel, with some likely reaching Hamas.

The drones could support surveillance of Israeli forces or carry explosives, while separate reporting links drones to weapons trafficking across Israel’s southern borders. Israel has responded with interceptions, property seizures, sanctions, prosecutions, and expanded security enforcement, but officials say detection gaps make the full scale difficult to measure.
