Inside the truck, army officials said, were dozens of parts for machine guns hidden inside large piles of trash. Soldiers said that the truck was on its way to the village of Idna, near Chevron. The driver was arrested.
More weapons were seized by soldiers in Beit Lechem overnight Tuesday. Soldiers on patrol in the city raided a weapons cache that contained handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. The weapons were seized, and several arrests were made.
