More than 150 suspects – including Hamas officials - have been arrested by the IDF since Saturday, following the kidnapping of three yeshivah students last Thursday.

Last night, one Palestinian man was killed in clashes with the IDF, and two men in Hebron were arrested.

International leaders – from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to US Secretary John Kerry – have indicated that Hamas was responsible for the kidnapping of three teenagers.

The teenagers - Israeli Eyal Yifrach, 19, Israeli Gilad Shaar, 16 and Israeli-American Naftali Frenkel, 16 – were last seen in the area surrounding Hebron in the West Bank on Thursday night.
