Three Turkish nationals—Oktay Asci, Rahman Gokyer, and Yunus Ozel—were charged with plotting to smuggle pistols from Iran into Israel via Jordan, according to Israeli media reports. The individuals were indicted on charges of weapons smuggling and infiltration following their deportation. They are accused of planning a gun-smuggling route from Turkey through Jordan to Israel. One of the accused is also charged with "aiding terror." The three were arrested last month after crossing the border illegally near Kibbutz Sha’ar Hagolan and have been detained until legal proceedings conclude.
