Israel’s internal security agency, the Shin Bet, has named two men it suspects of having abducted three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank two weeks ago.

Photographs of Marwan Kawasme and Amar Abu Aysha, two longstanding Hamas activists from the Hebron region, were distributed to the press yesterday.

The pair have been absent from their homes since the three Israeli teenagers went missing.

According to Israeli officials, they were in the car in which Gil-ad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Frenkel were taken from a hitchhiking post near the settlement of Alon Shvut in the Eztion bloc south of Jerusalem on June 12.
