The IDF and police stopped an attempt to smuggle illegal weapons along Israel’s border with Jordan overnight Tuesday.
Israeli police forces stopped two suspects who crossed into Israeli territory and fired towards them.
One of the suspects was lightly injured and transferred to a hospital in Israel for medical treatment. The second suspect fled the area into Jordan.
Nine pistols, six rifles and additional smuggled weapons were seized. The weaponry was estimated at half a million shekels’ worth.
Illumination rounds were fired during the operation, causing fires in the area. They were put out by an aerial firefighter.
No IDF injuries were reported in the operation.
