[IsraelTimes] Suspects brought several caches of arms into Israeli territory after making deal with Paleostinian citizenFive Israelis from Druze communities in the north of the country were indicted Sunday for smuggling weapons from Paleostinian Authority-controlled areas in the West Bank into Israel.
According to the indictment filed by the Haifa District Prosecution, the group is made up of friends hailing from Daliyat al-Karmel and Isfiya, two Druze towns near the coastal city of Haifa.
The charge sheet details how the central suspect made an agreement with a Paleostinian citizen, named in the indictment as "Abu Adham," to bring weapons "from the Paleostinian Authority into Israeli territory," in return for an undisclosed sum of money.
Under that agreement, the suspects brought several caches of weapons into Israel earlier this month.
The weapons were then to be transferred to a resident of Shfaram, an Arab Israeli town in the north, whose identity was not known to the suspects.
