An Israeli surveillance drone caught on film two PA Arab terrorists smuggling weapons into a hospital compound in Tulkarem in footage released by the Israel Defense Forces on Friday following an overnight counterterror operation.
The footage showed two men emerge from a car outside the hospital and pass at least one rifle to another man.
