Border Police (Magav) forces operating in the West Bank, specifically in the village of Hableh near Qalqilya, uncovered a large cache of illegal weapons and ammunition overnight between Thursday and Friday. The operation was based on intelligence from the Judea and Samaria District's Counter-Crime Unit (YALAP) regarding the presence of illicit arms.
During a thorough search of a suspect location, officers discovered three handguns, including an airsoft pistol, an M4 rifle, parts for M16 rifles, over 2,300 rounds of ammunition in various calibers (5.56mm and 9mm), and 67 magazines for M16, Kalashnikov, Uzi, and handgun types. Some of these magazines were loaded.
In addition to the firearms and ammunition, the search yielded silencers, scopes, three "Roni" pistol conversion kits, dozens of weapon parts, tactical accessories, and related equipment. Two suspects were arrested during the operation and handed over to the YALAP Shomron unit for further investigation.
This seizure is part of a broader counter-terrorism and arms interdiction effort by security forces in the West Bank. Recent operations include a large-scale effort in the Hebron area by the IDF, Shin Bet, and Magav, and ongoing police enforcement against illegal weapons possession in the northern region.
