Netanyahu vows 'Hamas will pay' after bodies of 3 kidnapped Israeli teens found Published June 30, 2014 FoxNews.com
Isreali Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed revenge against Hamas after three teens kidnapped June 12 in the West Bank — including one with U.S. citizenship — were found dead Monday, just north of Hebron.
"They were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by animals," Haaretz quoted Netanyahu saying at a hastily arranged security cabinet meeting. "In the name of the whole of Israel, I ask to tell the dear families - to the mothers, the fathers, the grandmothers and the grandfathers, the brothers and sisters - our hearts are bleeding, the whole nation is crying with them."

The leader's angry words came hours after the search for Eyal Yifrach, 19; Gilad Shaar, 16; and Naftali Frenkel, also 16, who were snatched while hitchhiking, ended in the West Bank, where Hamas operates. Sources said the bodies were found in a shallow grave in an open field in the West Bank village of Halhul, just north of Hebron.
"Hamas is responsible, and Hamas will pay," Netanyahu vowed.
The comments amplified earlier remarks from President Shimon Peres, who said Israel would pursue the killers.
Given prior Israeli conduct they quite probably will retaliate and harshly.

"It's inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, but especially in the IRS, given the power that it has and the reach that it has into all of our lives. ... I'll do everything in my power to make sure nothing like this happens again by holding the responsible parties accountable. ..." -- President Barack Obama condemning "misconduct" at the Internal Revenue Service, May 15, 2013.
