Translation by "Al-Quds" dot com - The Hebrew newspapers, published on Wednesday, focused on the recent operations of the " Lions' Den " groups in Nablus, which began inflicting deaths and injuries on the ranks of the Israeli forces.

The Hebrew newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, said that the Israeli army has no choice but to attack the "Lions' Den" groups by itself, and not to rely on the Palestinian Authority , which failed to tame these groups after the army responded to its request to do so.

In an analytical report by its reporter and military analyst, Yossi Yehoshua, the newspaper indicates that these groups, active in Nablus during the past few months, are responsible for the recent series of attacks, noting that the number of their members may range between 30 to 50, and they are not linked to any organization, whether Hamas. Or jihad or others.

According to the newspaper, these groups do not have an organizational body, a hierarchical chain of command, or a clear organizational behavior that could result in a high intelligence expectation, and they pose a challenge to the authority's rule, but the Israeli army considers them "terrorists", and they must be attacked with the best units and using the capabilities of the Shin Bet, And not waiting for the movements of the PA security services, because the Israelis are the ones paying the price for the attacks of these groups.

She referred to yesterday's operation that led to the death of a soldier near Nablus in an operation that was claimed by the same groups, pointing to the new failure of the soldiers not to respond to the perpetrator of the operation, which necessitated the opening of an investigation in this regard, as happened in the Shuafat operation.

In the opinion of the newspaper, it is necessary to find the necessary deterrence to work against these groups, in light of the emerging complications.

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" said, in its issue issued on Wednesday, that the "Lions' Den" groups, whose name was announced publicly a month after the assassination of Ibrahim Nabulsi, have become one of the main problems for the security services in Israel, as well as for the Palestinian Authority.

The Israeli security establishment believes that the members of these groups are activists who were former members of various organizations, and a series of events prompted them to call themselves the "Lions' Den". They are concentrated in the Old City and Balata camp, and their stated goal is to confront the Israeli army and settlers.

According to the Hebrew newspaper, the members of the group are "secular youth between the ages of 18 and 24, and they do not visit mosques or are influenced by religious figures... They are members of well-known families, some of them (i.e. their family members) are active in the security services of the authority, and armed groups were formed in Jenin Which was engaged in clashes with the Israeli army in every incursion as an inspiration to them. According to her claim.

A Fatah activist from the old city of Nablus, who personally knows many of the activists in the Lions' Den, said that this organization is far from being a hierarchical organization that receives instructions from higher authorities. My hierarchy reached the late President Yasser Arafat and other officials such as Marwan Barghouti, so the matter is completely different now.. This is a local organization of young people, and the vast majority of them do not belong to anyone, and some of them belong to organizations such as "Fatah", "Hamas" and "the Popular". As quoted by "Haaretz".

The Hebrew newspaper says that Israel asked the Palestinian Authority to act against the "Lions' Den", but the problem for the Authority is that unlike Jenin, in which the militants receive support from the Islamic Jihad, in Nablus that group is the "Fatah Flesh" that decided to rebel against the Authority. Therefore, the latter faces difficulties in dealing with it without prejudice to its legitimacy in the West Bank.

The newspaper claims that "Hamas" is trying to exploit these groups by financing them through "Musab Shtayyeh" (the pursuer detained by the Authority), especially since the movement found difficulties in establishing its infrastructure due to Israeli intelligence operations, noting that the Authority arrested Shtayyeh because of his attempts to link those groups with "Hamas".

An Israeli security source told Haaretz, "The Palestinians also realized that Nablus is an important test for them," noting that the authority preferred to talk with the activists of those groups, because it considered that failure against them would lead to the creation of other additional groups in all West Bank cities, which even Now do not participate in events.

According to the Hebrew newspaper, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with the heads of his security services and informed them that he was not ready to accept the continuation of the activity of any armed groups not under the authority, and asked them to work on collecting weapons and arresting the "instigators." According to the newspaper claim.

The Israeli security establishment believes that after Prime Minister Yair Lapid's speech at the United Nations, a major change occurred in the positions of President Abbas, who sees Lapid's statements about the two-state solution as an opportunity for change within the Palestinian Authority, and that he is ready to work to maintain dialogue with Israel.

According to sources in the Israeli security, the rescue of the Israeli family that entered Nablus last week was an example of this, and the Palestinian security personnel rushed to reach the family to protect them and return them to Israel openly, which was done in the past as secretly as possible. As the paper says.

According to the newspaper, the Palestinian Authority has been making efforts recently to integrate some members of the "Lions' Den" into the security services, so that they turn themselves in and lay down their weapons in exchange for a limited period of imprisonment or house arrest, and they will then be integrated into the security services if they show commitment and agree to do so.

The newspaper pointed out that in the past few weeks, Israel has also taken important steps to strengthen the Palestinian Authority, including refraining from entering Nablus except in cases where there is accurate information about the militants' intention to carry out attacks.
