A man has been arrested in connection with the killing of a 14-year-old Israeli boy in the occupied West Bank, Israeli police confirmed on Monday. The incident sparked outrage and violence in the region, with hundreds of Israeli settlers reportedly surrounding Palestinian villages and attacking residents across the occupied West Bank.
The victim, Binyamin Achimair, had gone missing from a settlement on April 12 and was later found dead. The Israeli military described his death as a 'terrorist attack.'
Israeli police announced a significant breakthrough in the investigation, stating that a suspect had been apprehended following a raid on the village of Duma. The arrest was made possible through a joint operation involving the Shin Bet security service, the Israel Police, and the Israel Defense Forces.
The arrested individual has been identified as 21-year-old Ahmed Duavsha. The circumstances surrounding his alleged involvement in the killing have not been disclosed at this time.
The incident has further heightened tensions in an already volatile region, with both Israeli and Palestinian communities on edge following the tragic death of the young boy. Authorities are working to maintain calm and ensure that justice is served in this case.
