Israeli police intercepted a large shipment of weapons intended for Arab
rioters in the east Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Post reports. Israeli authorities seized two shipping
containers from China, which arrived in Ashdod, consisting of fireworks,
knives, and Tasers. The fireworks were hidden within Christmas decorations
bound for the mostly Arab Christian neighborhood of Beit Hanina in east
Jerusalem.
The containers included 18,000 prohibited fireworks, 5,200 commando
knives, 5,500 Tasers, 4,300 flashlights capable of being converted into
Tasers, and 1,000 swords.

Jerusalem detectives collaborated with Israeli tax and customs officials
in the undercover investigation. Police arrested three of the suspects
after they claimed the containers at the Ashdod port and dropped them off
in an Afula storehouse.
In recent weeks, Palestinian rioters increasingly used fireworks as a weapon against Israeli
police and soldiers, especially in East Jerusalem. Potentially deadly
firecrackers and large roman candles have been fired at Israeli security
personnel. Some are capable of penetrating protective police gear,
including shields.
