I'm not sure if I would characterize fake Casio watches as weapons....A large shipment of illegal weapons was apprehended at the port of Ashdod, Israel, according to officials.
Ashdod port workers and customs agents were stunned after discovering more than 14,000 illegal weapons on Wednesday night.
The tax authority had marked the container as suspicious, and after being placed under a scanner, customs agents decided to open it for further inspection.
When the container was opened, agents found a large number of dangerous weapons, which were hidden between clothes.
Specifically, agents found 4,000 flashlight shaped electric shockers, 1,000 iron batons, 3200 pepper sprays, 2000 slings, 4000 laser pointers prohibited for import into the Palestinian Authority and 3,500 fake Casio watches.
Police said that a 27-year-old Palestinian man of Hebron, was arrested in connection with the container. The man has a history of smuggling.
It almost sounds like these are meant more for an "intrafada" than an intifada.
I saw this at the COGAT site. The only Israeli (English) media I could find mentioning it was Arutz-7.
