Defense Ministry security guards foiled an attempt to smuggle an assault rifle into Israel from the West Bank earlier this evening.
The ministry in a statement says an Israeli vehicle with two suspects arrived at the Trans-Samaria Crossing from the West Bank side and aroused the suspicion of the guards stationed there.
In the vehicle, the guards found a bag with a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition, the ministry says.
The two suspects were handed over to police for further interrogation.
