Security forces spotted three suspects crossing the border near Mount Sagi, and searching the area uncovered three sacks containing 15 Kalachnikov rifles and 15 matching ammunition clips.
The IDF noted that since the beginning of the year security forces have captured 138 rifles near the Israeli-Egyptian border.
