Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to find the perpetrators behind the tragic killing of 14-year-old shepherd Benjamin Achimeir in the West Bank. Achimeir’s body was discovered on Saturday morning after he went missing while shepherding sheep, prompting officials to treat the incident as a terror attack.
The teen’s death has sparked settler violence in the region, leading to clashes and injuries in Palestinian villages. Tensions between settlers and Palestinians have been escalating since a recent terror attack, with over 460 Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire in the West Bank in the past six months.
This incident adds to Israel’s security concerns as the country faces threats from Iran, which has vowed to retaliate for an Israeli strike that killed a Revolutionary Guards leader. Netanyahu has condemned the killing of Achimeir and reiterated Israel’s commitment to maintaining security in the region.
The Israeli government has deployed drones and additional security forces to aid in the investigation and ensure the safety of residents in the West Bank. Achimeir’s tragic death serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, highlighting the need for a peaceful resolution to prevent further bloodshed in the region.
