Israeli security forces have seized eight firearms and a significant quantity of hashish in an operation near the Jordan border during the weekend. The weapons—including FN, Glock and Taurus pistols—were discovered in a bag near the border following suspicious movement alerts from IDF observation posts.

The operation was conducted jointly by Shin Bet district police, IDF forces and Border Police, according to a statement from Israel Police Spokesperson’s Office. The firearms were located following surveillance of suspicious activity in the border area.

In a separate incident, another bag containing a large quantity of hashish was also discovered during the same operation, though details remain limited. The seizures represent a significant interdiction of weapons and narcotics trafficking at Israel’s border crossings.
