Border Police says officers arrest a member of the “Lion’s Den” armed group during a raid in a Palestinian town near Nablus.
According to a police spokesman, Suhaib Akef Jamil Shtayyeh was detained by undercover troops in a store in the town of Salem.
Police say Shtayyeh is suspected of being a member of the Lion’s Den “terror squad,” which has claimed responsibility for numerous shooting attacks in the Nablus area in recent months.
Shtayyeh has been transferred to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning.
He is the brother of Musab Shtayyeh, a wanted Hamas man who was arrested by the Palestinian Authority last month. He had also been tied to Lion’s Den.
