34 Pistols, Two M-16 Rifles Seized Near Jordan Border
Israeli security forces intercepted a significant weapons smuggling attempt near the Jordan border early Tuesday morning, seizing 34 pistols and two M-16 rifles. The operation, a joint effort by the Israel Police's Jordan Valley Border Unit, the Border Police's Judea and Samaria (Yo"sh) division, and the IDF's Jordan Valley Brigade, also led to the arrest of two Jericho residents in their 50s.
Intelligence indicated preparations for the smuggling operation, prompting forces to set up ambushes and deploy specialized technological means. These measures proved successful, leading to the apprehension of the suspects and the confiscation of the weapons.
The arrested individuals were transferred to the Judea and Samaria District's Central Unit for further investigation. Police stated that the operation is part of ongoing efforts to combat smuggling attempts along the eastern border, particularly in anticipation of the upcoming holiday period.
