The IDF said it spotted a group of armed men traveling in a car and on a motorcycle during an operation near the city of Nablus and opened fire. The Den of Lions, a local terrorist ring, said one of its members, Sayid al-Kuni, was killed in a "clash with the occupation forces."
Israel has been conducting nightly arrest raids in the northern West Bank since a series of deadly Palestinian attacks inside Israel last spring. Some of the attackers came from the area.
The Den of Lions was responsible for the recent shooting attack on a bus of Jewish residents near Har Bracha, a settlement near Nablus. No injuries were reported in that incident.
Earlier in September week, members of the Den of Lions briefly clashed with Palestinian security forces in Nablus. The group views the Palestinian Authority as a vehicle of corruption and collaboration with Israel.
