More details emerge on teens’ killings

The killers of the three Israeli teenagers last June in the West Bank had intended to abduct one or two Israelis and hide them in the backroom of a barbershop, the Walla news website reports.

Israeli security sources tell the website that the two kidnappers were likely taken aback when the three teenagers — Eyal Yifrach, Gil-ad Shaer, and Naftali Fraenkel — got into their car, and panicked. The graves were hastily and clumsily dug, the sources say, belying initial assessments that the two had carefully planned the abduction.
