Israel Police arrested two suspects in Tel Aviv on Sunday, who appeared to have drawn a firearm and were suspected of carrying out a robbery, the police confirmed on Monday.
Upon arriving at the scene, police discovered that the suspects, a 60-year-old resident of Ramat Hasharon and a 72-year-old resident of Ramat Gan, were filming a movie using a real gun belonging to one of the people involved in the production.
The suspects had not coordinated with the police beforehand. They were arrested on suspicion of negligent use of a weapon without a license and illegal possession of a weapon.
After they were questioned, the suspects were released to house arrest pending trial, and the weapon was confiscated by police.
Palestinian man found to be carrying illegal gun, magazine
Israeli security forces arrested a Palestinian man at the Meitar border crossing point, near Hebron, on Monday, after he was discovered to be carrying an illegal weapon.
Israeli authorities did not specify whether the man was crossing into the West Bank or entering sovereign Israeli territory.
During a routine search of the man's bags as he went through the border crossing, inspectors discovered a Glock pistol and a magazine in his possession.
He was subsequently arrested and taken in for further questioning.
