Jerusalem, 10 June, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israeli authorities thwarted an operation for the smuggling of stolen auto parts into Jordan.
A cargo of spare parts for vehicles intended for export that arrived at the Jordan River border crossing on May 2, 2025 aroused suspicion by the Intelligence Department at the Customs House that it contained stolen goods. A thorough physical examination by customs inspectors reinforced the suspicions regarding 406 spare parts for electric vehicles police investigators seized the truck, arrested the driver of the vehicle and opened an investigation.
The investigation revealed suspicions against a Palestinian resident of Kafr Sur (near Tulkarm) who was smuggling spare parts for vehicles stolen from Israel into Jordan. According to the suspicion, he registered the export license in the name of an Israeli resident in order to circumvent the ban on exporting parts from the country.
