According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted a suspect along the border, close to the settlement of Yafit.
The man, a Palestinian from Jericho, has been arrested by IDF troops and police officers dispatched to the scene, and the 22 handguns in their possession are seized, police say.
Incidents of weapon smuggling on the border with Jordan are frequent.
