Drone landed from Egypt with 7 kg of hashish - and the punishment the drug smugglers received

A drone that took off from Egypt landed 7 kg of hashish near the Israeli border. Two smugglers collected the goods on an ATV and tried to flee, but a reserve force from the Paran Brigade chased them, fired into the air, and used riot dispersal means. The ATV crashed into a rock, the two were arrested and transferred to the police. The Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court sentenced them to 17 and 16 months in prison, suspended sentences, and fines.

A drone launched from Egypt landed 7 kg of hashish near the Israeli border. Two smugglers, Abu Kima and Tantawi, collected the drugs on an ATV and attempted to flee. A reserve force from the Paran Brigade, conducting routine security operations in the area, spotted the drone landing, drove to the location, saw the two, and initiated a suspect arrest procedure that included firing into the air and using riot dispersal means. The ATV crashed into a rock; one was arrested at the scene and the other was caught after a foot chase. The indictment included charges of drug import and trafficking. The police prosecution emphasized the violation of state sovereignty by bringing goods across the borders. The Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court sentenced Abu Kima to 17 months in prison, 9 months suspended, a fine of 10,000 shekels, and a 10-month driving license suspension. Tantawi was sentenced to 16 months in prison, 9 months suspended, and a fine of 10,000 shekels. The sentences were imposed at the lower end of the sentencing range.
