A Bedouin Arab was moderately wounded Tuesday night after he and several others attempted to smuggle weapons and ram soldiers.
In the incident, a 23-year-old man from the al-Azazmeh Bedouin Arab community attempted together with three others to smuggle weapons from Jordan into Israel on Tuesday night in the Dead Sea area. When IDF soldiers arrived at the scene to arrest them, the suspects attempted to ram the soldiers.
A Magen David Adom (MDA) team evacuated the injured suspect to Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva.
A search revealed a drone and additional evidence. Police attribute to the four suspects weapons offenses, endangering human life, and unlawful injury.
The Be’er Sheva Magistrates Court has extended the suspects' detention by six days.
