US State department sanctions Palestinian armed group ‘Lion’s Den’

The Palestinian group "Lion’s Den", centred in Nablus in the occupied West Bank, has in recent months claimed responsibility for several drive-by shootings in the Nablus area.

The US Department of State announced on Thursday that the group will be subject to sanctions, but did not specify which kind of sanctions and which individuals, if any, would be targeted.
