The soldiers on Monday spotted two people throwing packages from the Lebanese side of the border to the Israeli side in the upper Galilee.
A man on the Israeli side was detained and found to have more than 48 pounds of cocaine and heroin in a bag, Israeli media reported.
The man is in police custody. The border was not infiltrated, according to the army.
