Border Police officers of the Northern District recently carried out an operation against illegal arms dealers in the Galil.

During the operation, the officers stopped a car at the Karmiel Junction in northern Israel. A search of the car uncovered, a “Matador” type shoulder-mounted missile with an operating system, nine standard grenades, and over a thousand machine gun rounds.

Bomb sappers were rushed to the scene and the driver of the car, a resident of eastern Jerusalem, was arrested and transferred for questioning.
