Israelis light candles as they gather in Jerusalem after the announcement that the bodies of the three missing teenagers were found near the West Bank town of Hebron, late Monday, June 30, 2014.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was huddling with his Security Cabinet late Monday to discuss a response. (AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner)
