The three teens were Naftali Frenkel (16, from Nof Ayalon), Gilad Shaer (16, from Talmon), and Eyal Yifrah (19, from Elad). Gilad Shaer called a police emergency hotline to report the kidnapping.

The Israel Defense Forces initiated Operation Brother's Keeper ( he, מבצע שובו אחים, ''Mivtza Shuvu Ahim'') in search of the three ...
