They really hate that man. Anyways... t's nearly 8 a.m. there now we'll probably hear about it later today. I watched an interview with bibi last night before the bodies were found and he was clearly angry. There's been a bunch of press the last afternoon with Hamas threatening to destroy Israel. I'm sure the planes will come out. The Palestinians clearly don't want peace.
Israel vows to 'make Hamas pay' for murdered teens
Text by FRANCE 24
Latest update : 2014-07-01
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Monday to make Hamas pay for the murder of three kidnapped Israeli teenagers, but the Islamist movement warned any reprisal attacks would open “the gates of hell”.
The Israeli military found the bodies of the three missing teenagers on Monday just over two weeks after they were abducted in the West Bank – a grim discovery that ended a frantic search that led to Israel’s largest ground operation in the Palestinian territory in nearly a decade.
“This evening, we found three bodies and all the signs indicate that they are the bodies of our three kidnapped youngsters,” Netanyahu told ministers at the start of an emergency session of his security cabinet.
“Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay,” Netanyahu vowed, referring to the militant political group that Israel has accused of carrying out the kidnappings.
“They were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by human animals,” he said.
Speaking to FRANCE 24 on Tuesday, Netanyahu’s chief spokesman said the government would "act very energetically to bring the perpetrators of this atrocity to justice," and implied that Hamas’s involvement was a foregone conclusion. “We are totally within our rights to act against the Hamas military machine, Mark Regev said. “Hamas has declared war on every Israeli civilian – man, woman and child”.
Monday's emergency three-hour session ended after midnight without any decisions, and officials were expected to resume deliberations on Tuesday.
Hamas, which had denied any involvement in the abduction of the teenage boys, issued a warning in return to the Israelis.
“If the occupiers carry out an escalation or a war, they will open the gates of hell on themselves,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP.
Israeli airstrikes
The discovery of the boys’ bodies – one 19-year-old and two 16-year-olds – came 17 days after they disappeared, triggering a huge manhunt during which five Palestinians were killed and more than 400 arrested.
Two Hebron Hamas men named by Israel as prime suspects – Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Eishe – remain at large but Palestinian witnesses said troops blew up their homes early Tuesday.
The Israeli roundup – mainly of people linked to Hamas – brought a wave of rocket attacks against southern Israel by militants in the Gaza Strip, answered in turn by Israeli airstrikes.
The latest round began at around 1 am on Tuesday with a rocket slamming into open ground in the Negev desert region. An army statement said nobody was hurt.
Shortly afterwards the Palestinian interior ministry reported around 30 Israeli airstrikes on deserted militant training sites across Gaza but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
In the northern West Bank, Israeli troops shot dead a young Palestinian early on Tuesday during a raid into the Jenin refugee camp, Palestinian security and medical officials said.
They named the dead youth as Yusuf Abu Zagher, 18, and said the incident appeared unrelated to Israeli operations in the southern part of the territory.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Hamas shuns allegations
Hamas has dismissed the Israeli allegations as “stupid” with Abu Zuhri accusing Israel of fabricating the kidnapping as an excuse to crack down on the movement.
“The occupation is trying to use this story to justify its extensive war against our people, against resistance and against Hamas,” he charged.
President Mahmoud Abbas convened an emergency meeting of the Palestinian leadership to discuss the latest developments.
Abbas has come under massive Israeli pressure to renounce a reconciliation agreement with Hamas, under which a merged administration for the West Bank and Gaza was formed in early June, for the first time since Hamas seized Gaza in 2007.
US President Barack Obama on Monday condemned the killings and warned against actions that could further “destabilise” the situation, amid the threats of retaliation against Hamas.
“The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms this senseless act of terror against innocent youth,” Obama said in a written statement.
British Prime Minister David Cameron slammed an “inexcusable act of terror” and pledged to stand with Israel as it seeks justice.
French President François Hollande denounced the “cowardly murder” of the teens which German Chancellor Angela Merkel called “a detestable act for which there is no excuse”.
Bodies buried under rocks
The youngsters’ bodies were found near the West Bank town of Halhul, some 10 minutes drive from the roadside where they were last seen hitchhiking. www.france24.com/en/20140630-west-bank-bodies-missing-israeli-teens-found-near-hebron
“During the search for Eyal Ifrach, Gilad Shaer and Naftali Frankel, the IDF discovered three bodies,” the Israeli army said on Twitter.
Army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner refused to comment on the cause of death.
He told reporters the bodies were being transferred for formal forensic identification.
One of the civilian volunteers involved in the search told army radio the bodies had been found under a pile of branches and stones in a remote area.
“Today, during a sweep with the army, one of the guys spotted something unusual, they started to move branches and stones and found the bodies,” said volunteer Benny Truper.
“It was a very isolated area, more or less at the end of the world.”

Kidnap and murder three innocent civilians and then try to hide behind your own civilians
Keep supporting savages, brehs. They knew the consequences of their actions and still put their own people at risk for their "mission". Good luck with that.
And those settlers knew the consequences of their actions, drinking stolen water and walking around stolen land
Should've stayed in Brooklyn

All I'm saying is that the Native Americans were here first! You can be thick sometimes...
As far as what's going on the West Bank, they bulldozed the suspects houses and planes hit a few infrastructure targets of Hamas.
One can only assume that Hamas sanctioned this attack, it's a very small area that they aggressively rule over as if it were a fiefdom.
Hamas and Fatah know the unity government will never pass muster to Israel or the West, all three are just playing it out for more time and concessions. I'm sure Hamas and Fatah will butcher each other again sooner than later and Israel already has there safety excuse. It's a bad joke.
