 | PM Netanyahu's Statement Regarding the Kidnapping of Israeli Teenagers by Hamas |
|
No group has taken responsibility. At this time there isn't confirmation of who kidnapped the boys, where they're located or even whether they're alive. However the government is certain that the professional operation was conducted by Hamas, and has taken 80 West Bank members of Hamas into custody. Hamas denied responsibility.
