ShareKUWAIT: The Kuwait Foreign Ministry has voiced Kuwait's condemnation and denunciation of continued incursions and brutal aggressions launched by Zionist occupation authorities against Palestinian cities, including Nablus and Ramallah, which led to the martyrdom and injury of scores of Palestinians. In a press statement, the ministry sounded the alarm about the consequences of this serious military escalation, for which occupation authorities are to blame and which put regional security and stability in jeopardy.
It called on the international community to move immediately and urgently to provide protection to the Palestinian people and to exert efforts to revive the peace process, thus leading to a just and comprehensive solution that ensures an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab peace initiative.
Meanwhile, Zionist forces has detained three alleged members of the Lions' Den militant group in the occupied West Bank, the army said, including the brother of a key Palestinian militant. The arrest of Muhammad Al-Nabulsi and two others in Nablus comes a day after five Palestinians were killed during a military operation in the city. "Muhammad Al-Nabulsi was suspected of possessing weapons, manufacturing explosive devices and involvement in the 'Lions' Den' terrorist group," the army said in a statement.
His brother Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi, nicknamed "The Lion of Nablus", was shot dead by Zionist forces in August and has since become a folk hero among Palestinian youth. The Lions' Den has emerged in recent months alongside a sharp rise in raids by forces in the northern West Bank. The three arrests on Wednesday follow the killing on Tuesday of Wadih Al-Houh, described by Zionists as the head of the Lions' Den, and four other Palestinians in Nablus.
A further 20 Palestinians were wounded in the operation, the Palestinian health ministry said. In addition to regular raids, the Zionist army has imposed additional checkpoints around Nablus over the past two weeks which have severely impeded daily life. The closures follow the killing of a Zionist soldier in the area on October 11, three days after a military policewoman was shot dead in the annexed east Jerusalem. So far this month 25 Palestinians have been killed in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, territories occupied by Zionists since the 1967 Six-Day War. - Agencies
