The two Hamas terrorists who murdered Israeli teens Naftali Frenkel, Eyal Yifrah and Gilad Sha'ar hy''d on June 12 and were shot dead in an exchange of fire with IDF forces in Hevron on Tuesday have been buried, in a funeral that quickly turned into a Hamas rally.
The terrorists, Marwan Kawasmeh and Amar Abu-Eisha, were laid to rest with some 3,000 local Arabs in attendance, with many waving flags of the terror organization Hamas of which the two were members of, reports AFP.
MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud) said Tuesday that the IDF should hold on to the bodies of the two terrorists to use them as bargaining chips for obtaining the remains of IDF soldiers Lt. Hadar Goldin and Staff Sgt. Oron Shaul hy”d, who were killed in Operation Protective Edge. Evidently Israel decided not to follow Elkin's counsel, despite the fact that Hamas is demanding the release of hundreds of terrorists for the return of the soldiers' remains in the renewed ceasefire talks occurring in Cairo on Tuesday.
Following the death of the two terrorists, dozens of local Arab rioters hurled rocks at IDF soldiers, and afterwards a general strike was held throughout the city with ongoing attacks by Arab rioters on the IDF.
Hamas temporarily pulled out of the Cairo talks after learning about the death of the two Hamas murderers, pausing talks for two hours before returning. The terror group has since praised them as "martyrs."
