Tensions Rise as Netanyahu Accusses Hamas of Kidnapped Teens

Sunday, Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Hamas terrorist group of kidnapping three Israeli teenagers who disappeared Thursday after heading home from a West Bank religious school. The last word from Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gil-Ad Shaer, 16, and Naftali Frenkel was when one of the trio called an emergency line at 10:25 p.m. and said, “We’ve been kidnapped.”

The Israeli military has closed off West Bank roads and arrested dozens of Palestinians in the search for the teens.
