In a significant development, three Israeli citizens have been apprehended for reportedly employing drones to smuggle contraband goods including drugs and cigarettes into the Gaza Strip.
Identified as Muhammad Sarahin, Sharif Abu Gardoud, and Younes Abu Gardoud, residents of the Bedouin town Mas'udein el-Azazme near Be'er Sheva, were taken into custody in April 2025, pending investigations and subsequent charges.
Authorities have alleged their involvement in multiple smuggling operations, asserting that the drones used remained in Gaza, potentially aiding Hamas terrorists. Israeli security is ramping up efforts through airstrikes and drone destruction to impede terrorist utilization of these technologies.
