One 29-year-old Jewish man and two 16-year-olds have been charged by Israeli prosecutors for the murder of Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdair. Abu Khdair, 16, was beaten and burned to death on July 2 in what was believed to be a revenge attack for the three Israeli teens abducted and killed in the West Bank in June. The deaths of both sets of teenagers have been pointed to as the immediate cause for the exchange of fire from both sides that has left more than 200 dead, a significant number of which have been Palestinian civilians.
