Over 100,000 munitions was stolen from the Tznovar base, Hebrew media reported Saturday.
According to Kan public broadcaster, the thieves managed to enter the base to carry out their operation without anyone noticing.
The military launched an investigation with the Shin Bet security agency to determine the circumstances of the theft.
Last month, unidentified persons broke into the ammunition warehouse of the Sde Yemen base in the southern Negev region from where they stole around 30,000 cartridges of weapons from the Givati brigade.
After the incident, the base's surveillance was reinforced and its defenses were improved.
For several years, the IDF has been confronted with robberies in its bases committed by both soldiers and criminal gangs.
It is feared that the stolen ammunition will be used in future terrorist attacks.
