Ammon News - Occupation police and the army say they foiled an attempt to smuggle some 75 handguns and dozens of assault rifle parts from Jordan into the West Bank overnight.

Soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted three suspects crossing the Jordan border, and troops dispatched to the scene located three bags with the guns and weapon parts, occupation police and the army said, according to Times of Israel newspaper.

It marks the largest weapons bust amid the ongoing war, military officials said.

The newspaper also noted the security forces are still searching for the smugglers.
