Israeli security forces foiled another attempt to smuggle firearms into Israel from Jordan this morning, the military says.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras identified a suspect close to the border and dispatched troops and police officers to the scene.
The man was arrested, and two handguns he had in his possession were seized, the IDF says.
The incident comes as the IDF and Israel Police have revealed they busted a gun-running operation on the border with Jordan last weekend.
The IDF said last the August 21 incident was the 18th smuggling attempt it had thwarted this year, with more than 300 weapons seized.
