Ma'an reports:
Customs agents in cooperation with the ministry of agriculture have recently detained four people accused of smuggling dozens of cows from Israel.

Director general of veterinary services at the Palestinian ministry of agriculture Imad Mukarkir told Ma’an that about 100 cows and calves were seized. The suspected smugglers, he said, will be referred to the district attorney for legal procedures.

Meanwhile, the animals will be quarantined and monitored for infections for two weeks.

The suspects will also have to sign obligations to make sure they will not do it again.

Mukarkir warned Palestinian merchants of the consequences of smuggling cows and calves from Israel. The ministry, he added, doesn’t ban imports from Israel, but stipulates that importers adhere with certain regulations set to protect Palestinian citizens.
Does this mean that there is a thriving illegal underground trade between Israelis and West Bank Arabs in cattle?

Of course not. The cows were stolen.

Arabs have been stealing Israeli cattle for decades, and they still do it today.

But you wouldn't know about that by reading Ma'an. No, there are no thieves in this story,  just "smugglers." And after the quarantine, the cows will not be returned to their Israeli owners but instead remain with the PA.
