The bodies of the three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped over two weeks ago were found by security forces in a field northwest of Hebron on Monday afternoon.

The discovery came after the Shin Bet focused its efforts in the area over the past two days during searches for the three abducted Israeli teens.

Clashes broke out in the area between security forces and Palestinians.

A special cabinet meeting was reportedly set to convene later Monday night.

The Knesset had cancelled all votes in the plenum on Monday evening due to "developments."

Earlier on Monday evening, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon had announced that progress had been made in the more than two-week search for Gil-Ad Shaer, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yifrah, reported Israel Radio.
