FILE - This undated file image released by the Israel Defense Forces shows a combination of three photos of Israeli teens Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship, who disappeared while hitchhiking home near the West Bank city of Hebron late at night on June 12, 2014, and were never heard from again. Their bodies were found two weeks later. Saleh Arouri, a senior Hamas leader, said on Wednesday, Aug. 20, that the group carried out the kidnapping and killing of the three Israeli teens in the West Bank in June - the first time anyone from the Islamic militant group has said it was behind the attack that helped spark the current war in the Gaza Strip.

The explosions rocking the Gaza Strip may seem far removed from the flashy cars and skyscrapers of ultra-rich Qatar, but efforts to end fighting between Hamas and Israel could hinge on how the tiny Gulf state wields its influence over a militant group with few friends left.
