The Shin Bet said the man, identified as Romain Franck, 23, was part of a broader Palestinian smuggling ring. The Shin Bet said Franck transferred a total of 70 handguns and two assault rifles on five occasions over recent months. The Shin Bet sent reporters a picture of what it said was the consular vehicle, a silver SUV. Among the suspects is a Palestinian security guard at the French Consulate in Jerusalem. The Shin Bet said French authorities were kept aware of developments on the case during the investigation.
