Kidnapped Israeli teens found dead

The three students of a religious school in Kfar Etzion missing since June 12 have been found dead north of Hebron on the West Bank of the River Jordan, ITAR-TASS reports.

Two of them were aged 16, one aged 19. The police say that dozens of soldiers were searching for them around Beit-Kahil, north of Hebron.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accuses Hamas of organizing their kidnapping and promised vengeance for their deaths. Hamas itself denies involvement in the tragedy.
