By Qais Abu Samra

NABLUS, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian armed group on Sunday confirmed the death of a group member in the West Bank city of Nablus.

The Lions’ Den said Tamer al-Kilani was killed in a bomb explosion early Sunday, blaming Israel for his death.

There was no comment from the Israeli authorities on the report.

Israel blames the Palestinian group for a number of attacks against Israeli targets in the occupied West Bank.

On Oct. 12, the Lions’ Den group said it was responsible for a shooting attack, in which an Israeli soldier was killed.
