A senior member of the Arin al-Osoud (Lions’ Den) armed group was assassinated early Sunday in a booby-trapped bomb blast in Nablus City north of the occupied West Bank.
According to local sources 33-year-old Tamer al-Kilani was killed at approximately 1:30 a.m. when an explosive device attached to a motorcycle was detonated at him as he was walking in a street in Nablus City.
Arin al-Osoud accused the Israeli occupation forces of assassinating Kilani and vowed to avenge him with a “strong and painful response.”
Video footage which was circulated on social media showed an unknown person planting a bomb in a motorcycle at an early morning hour before the explosion happened.
