The talmidim of the Mekor Chaim Yeshiva, Naftali ben Rachel and Gilad Michael ben Bat Galim, were abducted from the Gush Etzion area on Thursday night. The rumors of missing or abducted Jewish youths began spreading during the night, increasing on Friday morning 15 Sivan. There were limited Facebook postings with information of a terrorist kidnapping and then came the messages of a gag order. The Facebook postings were removed and the silence was palpable amid the increasingly ominous rumors on the outcome of the situation.
One of the tidbits of information spoke of a “last call made by the boys to the police 100 dispatcher from the Gush Etzion area and then the phone went dead”.
Additional information to be provided as it is cleared.

3 boys, they are still missing.(source Israeli news, IDF)
How about to change atitude towards serving in IDF ?
Galatz reporting from dover tzahal now:
He said 3 kidnapped and at this stage only searching
I just received a tweet at 10:26 am (EST) from the IDF and it says ‘Our mission now is to bring the three missing teenagers back home safely.’
So it does not seem like they are home.
Everybody should continue to say Tehillim.
So now the hated idf need to put themselves on the line to rescue them. Kol hakovod zehal h’shem yazor.
To poshiteryid1:
These are boys that are in a yeshiva high school for boys who then either go to the army or go to hesder and then the army. Hashem should keep them safe and they should be found alive and healthy and no soldiers should be hurt.
Time to start putting a bounty on the kidnap of Palestinian youths. If you bring a butter knife to a street fight it doesn’t end well.

you’re outright vicious and coldblooded to mix in this discussion at a time when there should be no division between any of us.
Daven for Yeshuos.
& IMAGINE that these boys are your sons or grandson, brothers or relatives.
#9 geula: “…at a time when there should be no division between any of us.” So when there is no tragedy upon us it’s ok..?
Geula- there should never be divison between us.it shouldnt be that in times of peril we only realize it…

homell: I hear you
