Rav Chaim kanievsky when told of the discovery of the 3 bodies said the 3 boys had a great zechus that thousands of Jews were mechazek and strengthened themselves with mitzvos because of them. The Tefillos that were said on behalf of the missing boys at the time did not go in vain it will be as a zechus and a merit for their Neshama.
Rav Aaron Leib Shteinman expressed grief and shock he said in yiddish A shrekliche zach he reiterated that the tefillos did not go in vain they will help for other things as well.. The rav said it was a nechama that the boys were brought to kevurah, and that klal yisral was brougt to a high level of chizuk as a result. The Rav called to be mechazek in Torah and not waste any time.Agudath Yisroel of America statement
Agudath Israel of America joins Jews and civilized people the world over in anguish and agony over the news of the vicious murders of the three boys kidnapped on June 12, Naftali Fraenkel Gil-ad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, Hy”d. This horrific act is, in the end, not a crime against Israel or Jews alone, but against humanity in both senses of the word. It bespeaks the deepest and most revolting inhumanity imaginable, the seizing of innocent, idealistic young people and the casual snuffing out of their lives and futures. Hamas and its allies, which now include the Palestinian Authority, are ultimately responsible for these premeditated, heinous murders. The hatred and incitement that have characterized so much of the campaign to establish a new Arab state alongside Israel are what have yielded these young lifeless bodies, and all the death and destruction born of Arab terrorism over the years. There are those who believe that all people are, deep down, good. Hamas and its friends, along with other terrorist groups and rogue nations like Iran, give the lie to that lovely but naïve fantasy. It is our hope that the nations of the free world and their leaders fully confront that fact and comprehend its implications.
