Police announce that border guards at the Allenby crossing from Jordan to the West Bank caught two couriers carrying some NIS 12 million (3.8 million) in cash across the border.
The statement says the money was likely meant to finance Palestinian terror activities in the West Bank. The two couriers were detained and taken for questioning.
The border guards were acting on a tip from military intelligence, the police say.
