Jordanian MP arrested by Israel for smuggling weapons into West Bank

Israel arrested a Jordanian MP, Imad al-Adwan, on suspicion of smuggling over 200 guns and gold into the West Bank. The arrest took place at the Allenby Bridge border crossing. A surge of violence and terror attacks has wracked the West Bank in recent months, aided by a flood of illegal weapons, including many guns smuggled from Jordan. The incident is sure to heighten the already elevated tensions between Amman and Jerusalem even further.
