Seven members of Nablus’s “Lion’s Den” terror group have turned themselves into the Palestinian Authority’s protective custody since last night, Channel 12 reports, including two of the group’s founders.

This leaves only two senior members of the group still on the loose in the city, with others killed or arrested in recent days by Israel.

The report says the group has been responsible for 120 attacks to date.

It adds that the PA is also paying NIS 70,000 ($20,000) for each gun that is handed in.

It notes, however, that there are still dozens of armed men in Nablus who pose a potential threat to Israeli targets.
