Disappeared Israeli teenagers found dead in West Bank

Three Israeli teenagers who went missing earlier this month were found dead in the West Bank today, reports the BBC.

Israel has accused Hamas of being responsible for the disappearance of the three teenagers, a claim that Hamas has denied.

The Israeli military has set up blockades and closed down areas within a few kilometres of where the Israeli bodies were found.

Israeli President Shimon Peres, commenting on the deaths, said,
“Amid our deep sorrow, we remain determined to fiercely punish the criminal terrorists.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that the incident was a consequence of the partnership between the Hamas and Fatah movements in Palestine.
