Israeli forces arrested three members of the Nablus-based Lion's Den terror group overnight Wednesday, including Iyad Nablusi, the brother of slain terrorist Ibrahim Nablusi.

Nablusi lead the head of the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, before being eliminated in an IDF counter-terrorism operation in early September. He was responsible for several terror attacks on Israelis in the Nablus area, including soldiers and Jewish worshippers visiting Joseph's Tomb.
A day earlier, the IDF conducted a raid on the Lion's Den headquarters, killing its leader Wadie Houh and destroying its explosives lab.
It was the first such raid the military conducted in Judea and Samaria for some time, signaling a shift in its strategy from extensive operations to targeted raids.
