The United States has imposed sanctions on the Palestinian militant group Lions' Den, citing its involvement in violence against Israelis and the deaths of Palestinian civilians in the West Bank. The sanctions, announced by the State Department, target the group's operations in Nablus's Old City, aiming to curb the escalating violence that has seen over 500 Palestinians and 12 Israelis killed since October last year. The Lions' Den, which emerged in 2022 amid rising tensions between Palestinians and Israeli settlers, has been blamed for numerous attacks. This move by the Biden administration marks a significant step in addressing the threats to peace and stability in the region. The sanctions are part of broader efforts to condemn and counteract all forms of violence in the West Bank, regardless of the perpetrators.
