Israel reacts to deaths of kidnapped teenagers

Relatives and friends gather around a grave, as Gilad Shaer, 16, Naftali Frenkel, 16, and Eyal Ifrach, 19, are buried side-by-side in the central Israeli town of Modiin

The Israeli army has found the corpses of three teenagers missing since 12 June in a field west of the West Bank city of Hebron, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet due to meet to weigh a response.

The discovery of the corpses of Naftali Frankel, 16, Gilad Shaer 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19, is sure to touch off widespread grief and anger in Israeli society, large swathes of which had virtually adopted them as their own children.
