Palestinians attempting to smuggle weapons got particularly creative on Saturday as checkpoint inspectors discovered a handgun, magazines, and bullets hidden in snack bags in a car, according to the Defense Ministry.

The weapons were hidden inside bags of Bamba, chips, and other snacks after a vehicle attempting to pass through the Trans-Samaria Checkpoint near Kalkilya raised the suspicions of inspectors at the checkpoint.

It is unclear if the Palestinians were smuggling weapons to sell or attempting to carry out an attack.
