The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) captured Mahmoud al-Bana, a well-known terrorist in Nablus, Samaria. Bana used to lead the Lions’ Den terrorist group. When the IDF first caught him, Bana tried to run away, so the soldiers shot him in the leg to stop him, and they were successful while he was not.
To catch Bana, Israeli soldiers dressed up as Palestinians and drove a vehicle from the Palestinian Authority (PA) to trick him. The Lions’ Den group started in 2022 and isn’t part of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. That same year, Bana turned himself in to the PA but was let go later.
The Lions’ Den is mostly based in Nablus but has groups all over the country. A person from Nablus told TPS, “The Lions managed to escape the watchful eye of the Israeli Shin Bet and proved that both the Palestinian Authority, the Americans and the Shin Bet cannot stand up to the new spirit of resistance.”
Hamas supports the “Lions” and leads them.
Many young leaders in the Lions’ Den are Hamas members. The source said, “the brain is Hamas, and the hands are Fatah,” meaning Hamas plans things while Fatah members carry them out.
The source also called the Lions’ Den an “enhanced version of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade – Fatah activists working under Hamas.” He added, “In 2000, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs operated in coordination with Hezbollah and the Revolutionary Guards and also in coordination with Hamas, but today, the situation is different and Hamas plays a much more significant role in the establishment of the armed organization.”
Still, the source said, “it is not possible to reveal all the things nor the extent of the involvement of Hamas.” The Lions’ Den members are young people born after the 2000 intifada, a time of violent uprising. They’ve lost hope in the Palestinian and Fatah leaders. But the source believes this group is the only thing that can bring all Palestinians together and push them to act.

Imagine the danger the IDF soldiers faced while dressed as Arabs who call themselves Palestinians.
