Police have arrested three people for trading military equipment.
The planned deal was thwarted as it neared completion. Had it gone lasted longer, it would have likely endangered innocent lives.
Two of the three, aged 33 and 41, are from Tel Aviv. They were stopped while riding a motorcycle near Ashkelon, and weapons were found in their possession at the time. They reported received the weapons from a third man, a 20-year-old from Ashkelon.
