The IDF reported Tuesday that Duvdevan undercover soldiers, operating under Shin Bet guidance, arrested a terrorist affiliated with Islamic Jihad and the Lion's Den group in the Nablus casbah on Monday night. The suspect was a member of the Lion's Den terror network, which Israeli security forces had previously dismantled.
The IDF provided additional details Tuesday evening regarding the arrest of an Islamic Jihad terrorist in the Nablus casbah, specifying that the undercover operation by the Duvdevan unit occurred on Monday night. The suspect was also a member of the Lion's Den (Guv Ha'Arayot) terror network, which Israeli security forces had previously dismantled. The arrest was conducted under Shin Bet intelligence guidance. As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, the IDF confirmed the arrest but did not initially specify the timing. The Samaria Brigade area has been a focus of ongoing counter-terror operations. The Lion's Den group, which was active in the Nablus area, was largely neutralized by Israeli forces in previous operations, but the arrest of a former member indicates continued efforts to prevent resurgence.
