Gaza residents celebrate at news of missing Israeli teens

Residents of Gaza have celebrated the presumed kidnapping of three Israeli teens who disappeared while hitchhiking in the West Bank, while Hamas lashed out at the Palestinian Authority for cooperating with Israel to find the youths

Eyal Yifrach, 19, and 16-year-olds Gil-Ad Shaer and Naftali Frenkel have been missing since Thursday night, and a massive manhunt led by the IDF has been ongoing since. The current assessment is that the boys were kidnapped, but are still alive and somewhere within the West Bank.

Led by families of Palestinian security prisoners, candies were handed out in a protest tent set up in Gaza by families to express solidarity with prisoners serving time for security related offences in Israel, and residents praised the "operation in Hebron", calling for additional kidnappings.
