RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian Lion’s Den group in the West Bank city of Nablus has become a source of concern for Israel.
The group claims credit for daily armed attacks against Israeli forces. Most recently on Oct. 16, it reported that its members threw a hand grenade at Israeli soldiers near Nablus, causing several injuries. The Israel Defense Forces acknowledged the incident but said no injuries were sustained.
