Israeli soldiers have killed two of the men suspected of abducting and murdering three Israeli teenagers in June.
An IDF spokesman said Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aisha were killed in a shoot-out when Israeli troops surrounded a building in the West Bank city of Hebron where they were hiding.
Israel identified Mr Qawasmeh and Mr Abu Aisha as key suspects shortly after the abduction of Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Shaar, both aged 16, and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach.
The spokesman, Lt Col Peter Lerner said: "We opened fire, they returned fire and they were killed in the exchange."
