By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent
Border Police on Thursday detained five Palestinians traveling by car in the south of the country, one of whom had two pistols in his possession.
The pistols were hidden in empty paint cans in the back of the car.
Police had pursued the men since their departure from their homes south of Mount Hebron.
The detainees were taken to Be'er Sheva for questioning where they will be brought before the Magistrate's Court on Friday.
