Lions’ Den Fighters Surrender to PA After Israeli Raids
Four members of the armed Palestinian group Lions’ Den on Wednesday night surrendered to Palestinian Authority security forces, following several days of intense Israeli military activity in the northern West Bank aimed at stamping out the recently formed militia.
