The slain gunman’s friends are convinced that he was assassinated by Israel with the help of Palestinian “collaborators.”
The death of Tamer al-Kilani, a senior member of the Lions’ Den armed group in Nablus in a pre-dawn explosion in the Old City of Nablus, has triggered calls for retaliation not only against Israel – but also for targeting Palestinians suspected of “collaboration” with Israel.
The slain gunman’s friends are convinced that he was assassinated by Israel with the help of Palestinian “collaborators.”
That’s why al-Kilani is being mourned in Nablus as a “martyr of treason” – a reference to the alleged involvement of Palestinians in his killing.
Residents of Nablus said al-Kilani was aware that he was wanted by Israel for his involvement in a series of attacks on Israelis, and that’s why he took precautionary security measures to avoid being captured by the IDF.
The explosion that killed him came as a surprise to the Lions’ Den gunmen, who are now trying to track down the suspected “collaborators” who allegedly assisted the Israeli security forces, the residents added.
