After Israeli raid, at least 4 Lion’s Den members turn themselves into PA custody

[IsraelTimes] Prominent operative maimed in Israeli operation against terror group leader surrenders to Paleostinian security services for protection

At least four members of a Nablus-based loosely organized terror group known as Lion’s Den turned themselves in to the Paleostinian Authority security services late Wednesday.

Local Paleostinian media reports said that among the four operatives who surrendered to the PA was Mahmoud al-Bana, a prominent member who was maimed in an Israeli raid against the terror group early Tuesday. During the Tuesday raid, Israeli troops killed the apparent leader of the group and four other button men, and destroyed a bomb factory. On Wednesday, another three members were arrested by Israeli troops. Earlier this week, another prominent member was killed in a kaboom attributed to Israel.

Lion’s Den has claimed near-nightly attacks on troops and Israeli civilians in the Nablus area in recent months.

In response to the surrender of al-Bana and at least three more members, Lion’s Den issued a statement saying it was "their choice."

"The Lion’s Den group has not asked any official or security body, no matter how respectable, to hand over our fighters [to them], and whoever surrenders himself, this is their decision and choice," the statement read.

Al-Bana said in a Facebook post that he surrendered to the PA with another operative in order to protect his life. According to Hebrew-language media reports, in recent days negotiations were held between Lion’s Den members and the PA security forces, under which the operatives would turn themselves in and be protected from Israel.

Israeli troops operated extensively throughout the West Bank in the predawn hours of Thursday morning, arresting 11 desperados, including two Lion’s Den members, the Israel Defense Forces said.

IDF arrests 3 Lion’s Den members, 15 more Palestinian suspects in overnight raids Wednesday

[IsraelTimes] Israeli troops operated extensively throughout the West Bank in the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, arresting 18 wanted Paleostinians including three members of the Lion’s Den terror group, the military said.

In the northern West Bank city of Nablus, troops arrested three members of the loosely organized terror group known as Lion’s Den, which has claimed near-nightly attacks on troops and civilians.

The IDF said troops detained Mohammed Nabulsi, the brother of Ibrahim Nabulsi, a wanted Paleostinian gunman killed by Israeli troops in August. Lion’s Den was formally established following his death.

Nabulsi was arrested for alleged weapons offenses, manufacturing explosives, and being a member of the terror group.

The second Lion’s Den member was accused of involvement in shooting attacks against Israeli cars driving in the Huwara area, south of Nablus, last month.

And the third was only accused of being a member of the group. Several weapons were also seized.

Elsewhere in the West Bank, troops arrested 15 other suspects, with violent mostly peaceful incidents in some areas, the IDF said.

The 18 suspects were taken to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency.

The military said no troops were hurt during the overnight raids.

#2  Ø­Ø§ÙƒÙ… اريوت = Govt Aryot --> 'Lions Den'

Found it, I was saying, Lion's Den does not sound to me, does not have the ring of arab/palenstinian to it.

حاكم اريوت = Romanized as Govt Aryot = Anglicized and nicknamed as 'Lions Den'.

حاكم اريوت --> google translate = Arriot Ruler
Under the arabic, it also lists = hakim arywt
