Israel Blames Hamas For Kidnapping Teenagers

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 15 Juni 2014 | 20.18

Israel has blamed Hamas militants for the abduction of three teenagers in the occupied West Bank, as it detained dozens of Palestinians in connection with the search.

"Those who carried out the kidnapping of our youngsters are Hamas people," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet.

He added there would be "serious consequences".

The trio, one of whom is understood to be a US citizen, are students at a Yeshiva, or religious school, in Gush Etzion, a Jewish settlement bloc.

They are 16-year-olds Naftali Frankel, from Nof Ayalon, and Gilad Shaar, from Telman, and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach, from Elad.

Local media reports suggest they left school on Thursday and were last seen hitch-hiking outside the settlement, which is just south of the Palestinian city of Bethlehem.

There has been no public claim of responsibility.

When asked about Mr Netanyahu's comments, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri stopped short of issuing a clear denial or confirmation the group, which runs the Gaza Strip, was involved.

Troops, helicopters and drones have been deployed across the West Bank in an effort to find them.

Checkpoints have been set up on roads throughout the southern West Bank, in particular around the city of Hebron and the surrounding area.

Israeli soldiers are believed to have carried out raids in the nearby villages of Dura, al-Samu, Tarqumia, and Beit Kahil.

Approximately 80 Palestinians were detained overnight by the Israeli military.

Palestinian officials say a total of more than 100 people have now been taken into custody, including at least seven Hamas members of the Palestinian parliament and several prisoners recently released by Israel.

Diplomatic sources have told Sky News they have received solid assurances that the security and intelligence forces of the Palestinian Authority are working closely with their Israeli counterparts to establish the whereabouts of the missing teenagers.
