Israeli security forces recently foiled an attempt to smuggle 10 handguns from Jordan into Israel, the military says.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras on Thursday spotted two suspects along the border, close to Kibbutz Ashdot Ya’akov Ihud.
Both men were arrested by IDF troops and police officers were dispatched to the scene, and the 10 handguns in their possession were seized.
It is unclear why the military waited several days before announcing the incident.
Incidents of weapon smuggling on the border with Jordan are frequent.
