Several suspects arrested in recent weeks allegedly told Shin Bet interrogators they were involved in the attack, the internal security agency said. Firearms allegedly used in the attack were also seized. "The investigation of the suspects is still underway, but from all the information we have, a Hamas military squad, directed by Hamas operatives from the Gaza Strip, is responsible for carrying out the attack," the Shin Bet said. Also Friday, the Shin Bet revealed that security forces had arrested a 16-year-old Paleostinian allegedly responsible for shooting at a southern West Bank settlement last week. The teen from the town of az-Zubaidat was accused of shooting at the settlement of Carmel last Thursday, moderately wounding an Israeli teenager studying at a yeshiva. The Israel Defense Forces said he was arrested last Saturday near the Paleostinian village of Um Daraj, two days after the attack. He also allegedly told investigations that he was linked to the attack, the Shin Bet said, adding that the weapon used was seized.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... Lion’s Den is tied to Ibrahim Nabulsi, a wanted Paleostinian gunman who was killed in an Israeli raid in Nablus last month. The IDF said it had launched a manhunt for the button men. No soldiers or civilians were hurt in the incident, which came amid an uptick in shooting attacks and rising violence in the West Bank, particularly in its north.
