The Shin Bet and police are investigating a serious weapons-smuggling case from Syria into Israel, according to reports. At least 10 suspects have been arrested, including soldiers and family members who allegedly worked together in a smuggling and trading network, among them siblings and a father and son. Some were detained immediately after a weapons deal. A search of their vehicle found two Kalashnikov rifles and a shotgun. The suspects face offenses including harming the sovereignty of the state. One told investigators he "didn't want to harm the country's security. It was all just about money."
