The state on Thursday indicted three Israeli men for the murder of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, the 16-year-old Palestinian from the east Jerusalem village of Shuafat.
Abu Khdeir was abducted, brutally murdered and burned on July 2nd. He was forced into a car while waiting to enter a mosque in east Jerusalem. 
He was allegedly targeted because he was an Arab and the three Israelis admitted they killed him as revenge for the murders of the three yeshiva students killed in the West Bank.
