Following his statement, officers went to his home in the town of Jiftlik and searched it. They found an airsoft pistol, knives and additional military equipment.
Among the items discovered was a military map of the Gaza border communities, which, according to a police statement, bears the security classification "Secret."
The man, who is in his 20s, was arrested and taken for questioning at the Jordan Valley police station in the Judea and Samaria District. He remained in custody following questioning, and police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding his possession of the equipment and classified map.
