Border Police this evening documented the arrest of an Arab from Gaza illegally staying in the village of Al-Azariya, east of Jerusalem.
The arrest was carried out by the undercover unit's soldiers, as part of exposing a squad of Arabs from Gaza, Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem, residents who smuggled operational weapons from Gaza to Judea and Samaria in recent months through a French citizen working in the French consulate in Jerusalem.
The arrested French citizen and several Palestinian Authority Arab suspects are accused of belonging to a gun-running network that eventually sold the weapons to arms dealers.
