The Lions’ Den doesn’t seem to have clear organisational structure, nor affiliations. What it does have is a brand: it is the face of Gen Z Palestinian resistance

have reached breaking point. According to the Israeli army, last year there were 61 gun attacks by Palestinians on Israeli soldiers and civilians in and around Nablus, up from only three in 2020.in over two decades, in an attempt to crush the Jenin Brigades – a group of young militants based in Jenin refugee camp, an hour’s drive north of Nablus. Supported by drone strikes, hundreds of ground troops stormed the camp, looking for fighters, weapons and explosives.

Al-Ajoud was not wearing a mask when we met, but it was still hard to make out what he looks like. The visor of his black baseball cap cast a shadow over his face, which was partially covered by a black beard that goes down to his chest. The peace that followed was an unhappy one. Memories of Israeli violence lingered, and dissatisfaction with living conditions in the occupied territories grew. Years of economic crisis have hamstrung businesses and people are finding it increasingly hard to make a living. It’s also difficult to travel around the region. During Israeli incursions in Nablus, the city can be closed off for days or even weeks.

One café in the Old Town is named after Abd Subah, a Lions’ Den member who was killed by the Israelis. On its sign is the warning: “May God curse anyone who betrays us.” A video posted on social media recently shows the terrified, exhausted confession of a 23-year-old fighter called Zuhair al-Ghaleeth. Exhaling deeply, he states that Israeli agents used a video of him having sex with another man as blackmail, forcing him to gather intelligence on the Lions’ Den leaders.
