A senior member of the Nablus-based terror group known as Lion’s Den turned himself in to the Palestinian Authority security services, Channel 12 reports.
The report notes that the man is the 15th senior member of the loosely organized group to surrender since an Israeli raid last week killed the apparent leader of the group and four other gunmen, and destroyed a bomb factory.
Lion’s Den has claimed near-nightly attacks on troops and Israeli civilians in the Nablus area in recent months.
According to 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.
