JUST when Israel, and even some Palestinians, began talking about the Lions’ Den phenomenon in the past tense, a large number of fighters belonging to the newly formed Palestinian group marched in the city of Nablus.
Unlike the group’s first appearance on September 2, the number of fighters who took part in the rally in Nablus on December 9 was significantly larger, and better equipped, with unified military fatigues and greater security precautions.
“The Den belongs to all of Palestine and believes in the unity of blood, struggle and rifles,” a reference to the kind of collective resistance that surpasses factional interests.
