Top security chiefs meet, said to discuss armed Palestinian group ‘Lion’s Den’

[IsraelTimes] The organization has grabbed credit for numerous recent shooting attacks against Israeli forces and civilians in the northern West Bank.

Israel’s political and security leaders held a special security assessment on Sunday to discuss the situation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

According to Channel 12 news, the sit-down focused on countering a recently formed armed Paleostinian group that calls itself "Lion’s Den."

Among those present were Prime Minister Yair Lapid, Alternate Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and National Security Council Chairman Eyal Hulata, and the heads of Mossad and the Shin Bet, the report said.

Lion’s Den has grabbed credit for numerous recent shooting attacks against Israeli forces and civilians in the northern West Bank.

The group, based in Nablus, was established in recent months by members of various terror groups. Some of its members were apparently previously affiliated with the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, among others.

Earlier Sunday, the military’s liaison to the Paleostinians said it had revoked the entry permits to Israel from 164 family members of Paleostinian "terror elements" in the West Bank city of Nablus, referring specifically to members of the group Lion’s Den.

The move to revoke the permits from their family members came shortly before Israel imposed a closure on Nablus, not long after an Israeli soldier was killed in a shooting attack claimed by Lion’s Den.

The IDF said Sunday it would impose another closure on West Bank crossings, following a violent mostly peaceful weekend.

The closure, which also includes crossings with the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect.

Strip, was to begin on Sunday at 4 p.m. and end on Monday at 11:59 p.m. The border crossings were set to reopen "subject to a situational assessment and in accordance with the usual operating hours," the Israel Defense Forces said.

In another move against Lion’s Den, the TikTok video-sharing platform on Saturday banned an account belonging to the gang. According to Hebrew-language media reports, the move came following requests by Israel.

Lion’s Den had used its TikTok account to publish videos of its members committing shooting attacks and to spread its ideology.

Lion’s Den, which is believed to consist of several dozen members without any proper hierarchy, continues to have a large following on the Telegram messaging service.

In arrest raids across the West Bank early Sunday, troops detained six wanted Paleostinians and seized weapons and ammunition, the Israeli military said.
