Attack — Gush Etzion (three teenagers abducted)

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.
Three teenagers were kidnapped while hitchhiking at an intersection in Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem, on their way home for the weekend. Their bodies were found after weeks of searches conducted throughout the West Bank.
One of them had managed to call the police from inside the vehicle, without being taken seriously at first, which fueled a lasting controversy over the handling of the alert. The kidnapping sparked a national mobilization, and then, following the discovery of the bodies, the revenge murder of a Palestinian teenager in Jerusalem; the chain of events led to the military operation and conflict that dominated the summer.
