Chikli described the drones, advanced logistical models like the DJI Matrice 600 M300 RTK, easily purchased online, as capable of carrying up to 10 rifles or four machine guns, along with ammunition, drugs, or other contraband. "Each drone can carry four MAG machine guns or 10 long rifles," he wrote, noting that 40 such weapons crossed into Israel in just two hours. Initially skeptical of reports claiming dozens of daily drone incursions, Chikli now believes they underestimate the scale, calling it an "industrial-level" threat.
Highlighting the post-October 7 reality, Chikli warned that the situation "should raise 1,200 red flags." He shared operational insights with relevant authorities and pledged immediate action. Disturbingly, he also revealed a TikTok video filmed from the Egyptian side, showing smugglers recording a security officer from Be’er Milka, labeling it a "very bad video" that underscores the audacity of the operation.
Opposition leader Avigdor Liberman echoed Chikli’s concerns, citing a conversation with Ramat Negev Regional Council head Eran Doron. Liberman reported that hundreds of drones crossed from Sinai in the past month alone, with 25 detected in the last 24 hours. He claimed most carry weapons for Negev gangs, later sold to terror groups and criminals nationwide. Nightly tests and gunfire in villages like Bir Hadaj, he added, signal an escalating crisis.
