As terror attacks move south from its epicenters in Nablus and Jenin, one former Israeli defense official believes that the Nablus-based Lion’s Den terrorist group will continue to serve as a model for many Palestinians. 

On Oct. 25, Israeli forces raided a bomb lab in Nablus belonging to the group, killing its group’s leader, Wadi al-Houh, and four other gunmen.
