A Palestinian teenager was kidnapped and killed Wednesday, apparently in revenge for the murder of three Israeli youths, prompting international calls for calm as violence flared in Jerusalem. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the "despicable" killing, urging both sides "not to take the law into their own hands," while the family of one of the Israeli teens, still in mourning for their son, called the revenge murder a "horrendous act".
Palestinians held Israel responsible, demanding Netanyahu's government act to prevent revenge attacks.
