A large Nazi flag was seen on Sunday flying over the West Bank Palestinian town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, only several kilometers away from a field where the bodies of three murdered Israeli teenagers were found buried last week.
The flag was placed near Highway 60, in a stretch through which many Jewish drivers travel every day, the Tazpit News Agency reported.
Residents of Beit Ummar have flown Nazi flags in their town in the past as well, including above a mosque.
Naftali Fraenkel, 16, Gil-ad Shaar, 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19, were seized and killed by Hamas-linked terrorists Marwan Kawasme and Amar Abu Aysha on June 12. Their bodies were found in Halhul, south of Beit Ummar on June 30.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said “Hamas will pay” for the killings.
