Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (3rdR) and his wife Sara (front and 2ndR), Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon (3rdL) and President Shimon Peres (R) attend funeral for three teenagers in the Israeli city of Modi'in on July 1, 2014. Tens of thousands of mourners joined in an outpouring of national grief during the funerals of Gil-Ad Shaer, U.S.-Israeli national Naftali Fraenkel, both 16, and Eyal Yifrah, 19. Hamas has been blamed but the Palestinian Islamist group has neither confirmed nor denied involvement in the disappearance of the students as they hitchhiked near a Jewish settlement on June 12th.
