By Eli Ashkenazi

Four men, including an Israel Defense Forces non-commisioned officer, were indicted Thursday in Nazareth Magistrate's Court for selling weapons to Palestinians in the West Bank.

The court lifted the two-month gag order on the case, revealing that 16 additional IDF soldiers have been questioned, 10 of whom will stand trial in IDF military courts.

During the course of the investigation, headed by Amakim police officer Ami Mualem, it was revealed that Ilut resident Arkaan Bashir, 29, a IDF non-commissioned officer who serves as an army vehicle inspector, stole guns and ammunition from his base.

According to investigators, an arms dealer from the West Bank would order weapons from Bashir, who would then ask soldiers from his base to obtain and relay him the goods.

Bashir's brother Ahmed, along with Abu Ayish, both of Ilut were also charged, along with Kafr Kana resident Nasser Hatib.

Amakim District Police Chief Zohar Dvir said "the suspect went through prolonged questioning which led to the exposure of the network."
