Tel Aviv, Israel (Agencies): In a significant security breach, unknown individuals infiltrated the Nahal Oz military base in the Negev desert a few days ago, making off with a substantial amount of military equipment.
The stolen items are estimated to fill 18 containers, marking one of the largest thefts of military assets in recent history.
Initial reports suggest that the infiltrators managed to bypass the base’s security systems and engaged in a brief skirmish with the guards.
The attackers then proceeded to load the equipment into vehicles and fled the scene.
The stolen equipment includes advanced weaponry, communication devices, and other critical military assets.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a full-scale investigation into the incident, with efforts underway to track down the perpetrators and recover the stolen items.
Security protocols at military installations across the region are being reviewed and reinforced to prevent similar incidents in the future.
This breach comes at a time of heightened tensions in the region, raising concerns about the potential use of the stolen equipment by hostile groups.
The IDF has urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
