    ​Israel Ministry of Defense security guards thwarted an attempt to smuggle firearms, silencers and cartridges today (Wednesday, 3 May 2023) en route from the Gaza Strip to Judea and Samaria.

    A furniture shipment from Gaza to Judea and Samaria aroused the guards’ suspicion. A closer inspection uncovered various types of firearms hidden inside the furniture in addition to loaded cartridges and silencers that were also confiscated. According to initial assessments, the weapons were allegedly shipped for terror activity in Judea and Samaria, and were transferred to security forces for further review.
