With sadness and grief, I post this article.

Please pray for the families:

In a tragic end to an intensive search by the IDF, intelligence services and police, it was released for publication Monday evening that IDF forces had discovered the bodies of the three teenagers abducted 18 days ago as they hitchhiked home in the Gush Etzion region. Eyal Yifrah 19, from Elad; Gilad Sha'ar, 16, from Talmon; and Naftali Frenkel, also 16, from Nof Ayalon, went missing on June 12th, and officials soon identified Hamas as the culprits. Their bodies were found near Hebron where the search operation for them - dubbed Operation Brother's Keeper - had been focused. A spokesperson, who was among the civilian volunteers said a member of the search party "saw something suspicious on the ground, plants that looked out of place, moved them and moved some rocks and then found the bodies. We realized it was them and we called the army." The bodies were discovered bound together and buried in a shallow grave in a field at approximately 5 p.m.  (Israel National News)
