B’Tselem ‘strongly condemns’ killing

The human rights group B’Tselem issues a statement denouncing the killing, which it says “undermines all moral, legal and human principles.”

“B’Tselem strongly condemns the abduction and killing of the three yeshiva students, Naftali Fraenkel, Gil-ad Shaar, and Eyal Yifrach, and offers its condolences to the families. Deliberate targeting of civilians undermines all moral, legal and human principles. The deliberate killing of civilians is defined as a grave breach of international humanitarian law, and cannot be justified, regardless of the circumstances,” it said.
