Former Lion's Den Militant Arrested in Nablus Operation
Israeli security forces apprehended a former member of the "Lion's Den" militant group in the city of Nablus (Shkhem) on August 30, 2026. The operation, a joint effort by the Israel Police and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), was based on precise intelligence provided by the Shin Bet (Shabak).
The 37-year-old suspect had been sought since his involvement with the "Lion's Den" organization, which was dismantled by security forces in 2022. During his time with the group, he was reportedly involved in promoting terrorist activities and attempting attacks against Israeli citizens.
According to Ynet, special forces surprised the suspect by infiltrating his home undetected, leading to his arrest without any casualties among the security personnel. The detainee was subsequently handed over to the Shin Bet for further interrogation.
