The Israeli found dead on Saturday
following a large-scale search in Samaria was killed in a terror attack
near the Malachei Shalom outpost the previous day, according to the IDF.
The body of 14-year-old Jerusalem resident
Binyamin Achimeir was found after he went missing while shepherding
from Gal Farm, located close to the Palestinian village of al-Mughayyir,
17 miles northeast of Ramallah.
A drone identified Achimeir’s body on
Saturday morning. He was killed by Palestinian terrorists in either the
late morning or early afternoon on Friday, according to a preliminary
investigation.
The IDF was continuing to search for the perpetrators.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
condemned “the heinous murder,” according to a rare statement released
by his office on Saturday, the Jewish day of rest.
“We will get the murderers and those who
helped them, as we do to all who harm the citizens of the State of
Israel,” the prime minister said.
“I send my heartfelt condolences to his family,” added the statement.
Netanyahu urged everyone “to allow the
security forces to do their work unhindered,” amid clashes that erupted
between Israelis and Palestinians in the area of Achimeir’s murder.
