Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - Hebrew newspapers said, on Wednesday, that the Israeli army appears determined to dismantle the "Lions' Den" group, and to continue activities against it until its collapse.

According to a report on the website of the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the arrests that took place day and night in Jenin and Nablus relatively quietly and without confrontations and shootings as usual, indicate the intentions of the Israeli army that it is concerned with continuing its activities until the collapse of this organization a day after the assassination of its leader Wadih Al-Houh, and since The days of Tamer Al-Kilani, and the liquidation and arrest of others.

The report indicated that the Israeli army is still maintaining its alert in Nablus and setting up checkpoints to prevent the organization’s elements from carrying out attacks, claiming that the residents of Nablus are tired of the current security reality, clashes and the imposition of checkpoints, which has caused damage to their economy, and the casualties contribute to each activity by reducing the level of friction. . according to his claim.

And he indicated that during this morning, activists from the "Black's Den" were arrested in a quick operation in Nablus, during which Iyad al-Nabulsi, the brother of the martyr Ibrahim, who was assassinated last August, was arrested, and another from the same group was found in possession of weapons, and a third wanted person suspected of involvement in a shooting operation was arrested at Hawara. Last month, what caused damage to the vehicle,

The report considered that it was premature to consider the lack of confrontations and clashes in the morning in Nablus as a change in direction due to the continued activities of the Israeli army against members of the organization in the city.

In another report published in the hard copy of Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, the newspaper said that the liquidation of the "Black's Den" activists will motivate young men to join the active group in Nablus.

The newspaper claimed that the glorification of some Palestinian officials and the leadership of the "Fatah" movement, and their hastening to praise the "Lion's Den" after yesterday's events, came only in order not to accuse the PA and its security services of security cooperation with Israel, which is still continuing on a regular basis.

And it indicated that the governor of Nablus, Ibrahim Ramadan, tried last week again to persuade the leaders of the "Lions' Den" to surrender their weapons and join the wanted agreement, in which they remain in the facilities of the Palestinian Authority and with the passage of time they receive amnesty from the Israeli side, but he failed to do so, and the leaders of the group insisted on refusing to do so. Handing over their weapons, but the recent blows are likely to lead to the organization's leadership having most of its elements agree to the formula of the wanted agreement that emerged for the first time in 2007, according to the newspaper's belief.

The newspaper wondered whether the recent operations would create a state of deterrence among the Palestinians, or ignite the desire for revenge and bring more of them to the streets, noting that there are fears of a broad popular awakening against Israel, although the army and the Shin Bet have so far succeeded in preventing such an outburst. .

For its part, Haaretz newspaper says that the activities in Nablus are part of a broad effort aimed at striking the "Lions' Den", pointing out that the bombing of the group's explosive materials laboratory was aimed at thwarting a plan to carry out large-scale operations with explosive devices.

She pointed out that the reasons that prompted Israel to focus on the "Lions' Den", the first symbolic, relate to the popularity of the group, which is based on a loose hierarchical structure without belonging to any of the old organizations, and its success in igniting the imagination of the young generation in the West Bank and receiving the support of hundreds, especially through social networks, and the second is its registration. It achieved operational successes through a series of operations it carried out in and around Nablus, one of which led to the killing of a soldier, operations that led to increasing preoccupation by the Israeli forces against it after specific warnings.

According to the newspaper, the current declared goal of the Israeli army is to remove wanted persons from feeling safe in areas where the activity of the Palestinian security services is diminishing, and it will not allow the presence of cities as a haven for wanted persons in the West Bank.

The newspaper notes that the Israeli public, as long as there are no casualties among its ranks, is not currently concerned with the ongoing activities led by the Israeli government prior to the elections, and what is happening cannot be separated from these elections that will take place at the beginning of next month.

As for the Palestinians - as the newspaper says - the "Lions' Den" has succeeded in classifying itself as a new and popular phenomenon despite its relatively small number of members, but any claim that will be heard that its collapse in the near time will not be reliable, and because there is no solid organizational background or clear hierarchical structure, it They cannot be identified with this or that activist who will be liquidated or arrested.

She adds: "The Lions' Den" is in fact more an idea than an organizational structure, therefore, it is difficult to stop its spread, and the fact that hundreds of Palestinians gathered last night in the vicinity of the hospital in Nablus to which the injured and the bodies of the victims were brought indicates that there is an important popular phenomenon here. Its name, "Lions' Den", is increasing and will not fade away easily.

For its part, Maariv newspaper considered that the operation in Nablus aims to tighten pressure on the "Lions' Den" after it gained momentum in the Palestinian street, noting that the operation was very successful due to the golden intelligence information that reached the Shin Bet.

The newspaper warned that such successful operations and the fall of Palestinian victims may turn back like an arrow in the face of Israeli security, pointing to fears of the possibility of similar organizations in other areas imitating the work of the "Lions' Den".

The newspaper pointed out that during the coming period, the Israeli army will continue to put pressure on the "Lions' Den" to try to completely dismantle it, pointing out that concerns are also related to the issue of inspiration for Palestinian youths who carry weapons and may participate in a series of attacks, as happened in previous years.
