Israeli security forces foil an attempt to smuggle 15 handguns from Jordan into Israel, the military says.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted two vehicles and suspicious movement near the border, close to the town of Neve Ur.
IDF troops and police officers dispatched to the scene catch one of the cars, detain three men, and the 15 handguns in their possession are seized, the military says.
The men and weapons are handed over to police for further investigation.
Incidents of gun smuggling on the border with Jordan are frequent.
