IDF Targets Palestinian Gunmaking Workshops in West Bank
(Washington Post) William Booth - In the past 12 months, Israeli forces have confiscated 350 guns and busted 35 workshops where Palestinian machinists manufacture the components of the Carlo, a handmade submachine gun modeled after the Swedish Carl Gustav. The Palestinian towns of the West Bank might be among the few places in the Middle East not awash in AK-47s and M-16s, due to relentless Israeli pressure, with assistance from the Palestinian Authority, which supplies Israeli authorities with intelligence about guns and their makers. There have been 22 major assaults on Israelis by Palestinian gunmen in the past year.
