The body of Israeli shepherd Benjamin Achimeir, 14, was found in the West Bank Saturday morning, sparking a wave of settler attacks as officials are treating his killing as a terror attack.
The body of a missing Israeli teen shepherd was found in the West Bank Saturday morning, and officials are treating the killing as a terror attack.
Benjamin Achimeir, 14, was last seen leaving the settlement of Malachei Shalom early Friday, Israeli media reported. The sheep he was shepherding later returned without him.
His body was spotted by a drone on Saturday. The teen is believed to have been shot, but that report has not been confirmed.
The Israeli army has classified the killing as a “terrorist attack.”
No one group immediately claimed responsibility for the murder.
“We will get to the murderers and their helpers as we do to anyone who harms the citizens of the state of Israel,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday.
