[IsraelTimes] Israeli security forces foil an attempt to smuggle firearms into the West Bank from Jordan last night, the military says. According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers operating in the area seized a bag with six handguns and a number of magazines near the Paleostinian village of Marj Na’je. The IDF adds that two suspects were later arrested nearby by troops and coppers. The IDF said last month there had been a "significant rise" in attempts to smuggle weapons into Israel and the West Bank from Jordan, counting more than 300 guns seized since the beginning of the year. In 2020 and 2021 combined, 300 firearms were seized along the eastern frontier, the IDF said. |
