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.
