Israeli special forces stormed a West Bank hideout early yesterday and killed two Palestinians suspected of the June abduction and slaying of three Israeli teenagers.

Two Palestinians suspected over the abduction and murder of three Israeli teenagers which sparked this summer’s Gaza bloodshed have been killed in a shoot-out with Israeli forces, the army said today.

Hamas has warned Israel against any retaliation over the deaths of three teenagers in the West Bank, threatening that “the gates of hell will open”.
