(VOVWORLD) - The Palestinian Authority (PA) has received US-made armored vehicles and weapons via Jordan to support its "security work" in the West Bank, according to reports on Monday evening.

These vehicles and weapons will be used to "enforce law and order" in areas under the Palestinian Authority control in the occupied West Bank, according to Al-Quds Daily.
This follows the emergence of a new Palestinian armed faction named Lions' Den, particularly around Jenin, and a wave of deadly raids by Israeli forces in the West Bank.
This situation has led to allegations that the PA has "lost control" of the West Bank, with 185 Palestinians killed by Israel in the occupied territory since January.
