A container marked to be containing wallets, jewelry and other items was found to be filled with 14,000 weapons, ammunition and related items by Port of Ashdod customs agents last week.
The container which was randomly chosen for inspection contained 4,000 tasers, 1,000 metallic batons, 3,200 containers of pepper spray, laser detectors and more. There were also 3,500 Casio knockoff watches for import to the PA (Palestinian Authority).
The container originated in China and it was imported by a 27-year-old PA resident of Hebron who deals with import/export together with family members.
