Israel kills ‘Hamas militants’ suspected of teens’ deaths

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.

The teenagers’ deaths triggered a chain of events that led to the invasion of Gaza by Israel this summer.

The deaths of the two suspects, identified by the Israeli military as well-known Hamas militants, ended one of the largest manhunts conducted by the Israeli security forces.
