Slain Israeli teens remembered

One liked basketball and was a gifted musician who played a mean guitar as well as the flute. Another liked to bake cakes for his five younger sisters. The third would bring jars of cookies to study hall for his classmates.

Naftali Frankel, Eyal Yifrach and Gilad Shaar, Israeli Jewish teens, were buried Tuesday after a memorial ceremony watched nationwide. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the three were "gifted, pure, honest and decent" and were "cut down by the hands of evil men."

Their deaths galvanized the country and sparked new Israeli military action, exacerbating the conflict.

The teens' bodies were found Monday, more than two weeks after the three were abducted on their way home from school in the West Bank.
