Three Israeli teenagers went missing on June 12. They were last seen hitchhiking in the West Bank near the Gush Ezion settlement area. It took the Israelis 18 days to find them at a spot that is not far from where they were believed to be kidnapped.
According to assessments, the three yeshiva (orthodox seminary) students were killed shortly after they were kidnapped. Netanyahu plans to address the teens' funeral later in the day.
