Hamas: Any Israeli Attack Will Open 'The Gates of Hell'

(AFP) — Any Israeli action to punish Hamas for the alleged murder of three teenagers whose bodies were found on Monday would open “the gates of hell,” the Islamist movement warned.

The warning came shortly after Israel confirmed finding the bodies of the three students who disappeared while hitchhiking in the southern West Bank on June 12.

The bodies were found in a field near Halhul some 10 minutes from the roadside spot where they were last seen, media reports said.
