Fighters from the Yigal unit of the Northern District, who were waiting in ambush with IDF fighters near the Argaman settlement in the Jordan Valley, this morning identified a suspect approaching the border fence.

The unit's police arrested the suspect, a 29-year-old resident of Jericho, in possession of a bag containing 24 pistols and 80,000 Jordanian dinars in cash. Since the beginning of the year, the unit has thwarted six smuggling attempts and seized 169 weapons.

Well done Israeli Police and IDF!
