Israel vows resolute action after abducted teenagers found dead
Israel has vowed retribution against Hamas, the militant Palestinian group it accuses of the kidnap and murder of three teenagers, the BBC reported.
The bodies of Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach were found on Monday evening, after they had been missing for more than a fortnight.
Israel PM Benyamin Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting: "Hamas is responsible and Hamas will pay.''
Israel launched more than 30 air strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight.
Four people were reported lightly wounded.
Israeli troops flooded into the Palestinian village of Halhul and the homes of two Hamas men, Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aishah, named by Israel as prime suspects, have been blown up.
Hamas says Israel is using a "story" to justify a "war" on Palestinians.
