Israel has accused the head of the Palestinian preventive security service in the West Bank, Jibril Rjoub, of smuggling weapons into Palestinian territory and distributing them to various Palestinian groups, reported the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, citing Israel Radio.
Both official Palestinian security services and other armed Palestinian factions are among the recipients of these weapons and military materiel, they claimed.
The paper said that firearms, ammunition, explosive materials and mortar shells were being obtained by Rjoub's personnel, primarily in Jordan and Lebanon, but also reportedly from Arab arms dealers in Israel – Albawaba.com
