The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday announced the arrest of two Palestinian citizens last Saturday who were allegedly attempting to smuggle weapons into the West Bank.
The Israeli army claimed in a statement that parts of an M-16 rifle were found in the possession of two Palestinians during the security check at the Israeli-controlled al-Karama crossing between the West Bank and Jordan.
The statement noted that the two Palestinians were detained and taken for interrogation.
Al-Karama crossing also known as Allenby Bridge is the sole outlet connecting the occupied West Bank with the outside world via Jordan.
