Official PA daily: There is no evidence that Hamas murdered the "three settlers"
Headline: “The bodies of the three settlers have been found and the ‘murderer’ [remains] unknown – Israel’s leaders utter threats and Netanyahu threatens Hamas will ‘pay’ the price”
“Israel announced last night [June 30, 2014] that it had found the bodies of the three settlers who disappeared in the southern occupied West Bank, after nearly three weeks of searches.
Just as Israel hastened to blame Hamas for their kidnapping as soon as their disappearance became known, it also hastened to blame Hamas for their murder, despite the fact that there is no [evidence] pointing towards the murderer or the motives for their murder.”
Note: On June 12, 2014, Israeli teens Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, 16, were kidnapped while hitchhiking in the West Bank. The boys' bodies were found by Israeli security forces near Hebron on June 30, 2014. They appeared to have been shot to death soon after the abduction.
