Why did Netanyahu put a gag order on press and authorities not to reveal the IDF knew 3 teen settlers were dead hours after being kidnapped?

Over four hundred people were arrested and over a dozen killed looking for people the IDF knew were dead. Surely the Israeli government would've know there'ld be repercussions of arresting and killing these people, most of them affiliated with Hamas. But I haven't seen any reason not evidence that it was even Hamas behind it.
So why the gag order, did I miss it?

Netanyahu knew the three settlers were dead from the very beginning. He also knew who the chief suspects were, raiding their homes weeks before announcing them as suspects. I would go as far as to say he had an idea of where the bodies were. Netanyahu is so despicable, he had his own wife start the "bring back our boys" # on Twitter, despite knowing from the gunshots in the police recording they were already dead! It was a calculated move to incite hate against Palestinians and rally the Israeli public around him so he could conduct a massive arrest operation against Hamas. He knew this provocation would cause Hamas to react violently, derailing the unity government which threatened him with the Palestinian peace offensive he has nightmares about!

They were killed nowhere near Gaza by people speaking Hebrew... ten days of racial insightment and propaganda followed and was basically the build up to events happening now. The rhetoric has changed since then to Israel "defending itself" from Hamas rockets - it's all cr*p.
A couple of weeks before the three teens were killed in highly suspicious circumstances, two Palestinian teens were killed and 3 injured at a checkpoint by machine gun fire... but you wouldn't hear about that though.

He wanted to take advantage of the emotional state that it generated in the Entity and in the US Congress.

Squeezing more money from the US taxpayer, building more illegal settlements, making life more miserable for innocent people in the WB and Gaza and looking more like a Torah era tyrant is irresistible to Bibi.

We do not negotiate with terrorists. We kill them. Hamas has long since been designated a 'terrorist organization' by the USA, Israel, the EU, I think by the UN too.....so Hamas has no .....rights at all. There has never been any doubt the Jewish teens were murdered by Hamas, 'legal' proof would not be given nor needed..
