While Israel has accused Hamas of kidnapping the trio, there has been no credible claim of responsibility for the abductions.

The comments on the Facebook page were overwhelmingly supportive of the proposed executions.

"You don't need to disconnect the water and electricity. You need to connect the water to the electricity," one said referring to Israel's occasional cutting of utilities to the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Beneath the picture allegedly of a Palestinian prisoner, another commented that: “Hassan Salame is an arch terrorist who is responsible for the murder of more than 45 Jews in a series of attacks. Salame is still celebrating in prison at the expense of the Israeli taxpayer ... and is waiting to be released in the next prisoner exchange. It is time to eliminate him immediately and by that reduce the appetite of the kidnappers."
