Local Arabs murdered Binyamin Achimeir, H’yd, a 14-year-old shepherd who left with his flock on Friday at 6 a.m. from the Malachai HaShalom yishuv in Binyamin and never returned, sparking a massive search after the flock returned without him.
Binyamin’s body was found on Shabbos morning. A knife and a stone full of blood was found at the site of the murder.
Security officials believe that according to the horrifying evidence found at the scene, Binyamin, z’l tried to fight off the terrorist or terrorists who threw stones at him and abused his body.
The IDF spokesperson said: “The body of Binyamin Achimeir, H’yd, the 14-year-old boy who has been missing since yesterday morning and was murdered in a terrorist attack, was located by IDF forces, the Shin Bet and Israel Police in the Malachei HaShalom area. The investigation of the incident is ongoing. Security forces are continuing the manhunt for the terrorists. The security agencies share in the family’s grief.”
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated on Motzei Shabbos: “The IDF, the Shin Bet and the Israel Police are carrying out intense operational and intelligence activity in the entire area and in Palestinian villages. I call on all Israeli citizens to allow the security forces to do their work unhindered, so that we can quickly bring the abominable murderers and their accomplices to justice.”

Among all the handwringing over this terrible tragedy, I think some haskafah is in place.
My heart goes out to the grieving family and the community, but in light of the IDF arresting, last week, three terrorist cells seeking to kidnap shepherds, how could anyone send out a shepherd? Especially a 14-year-old on his own.
I am far from Satmar chassid, but this was the result of a warped Zionist ideology that then led the settlers to act like Arabs, attacking Arab villages. And indeed, giving legitimacy to our enemies.
The boy’s murder was horrific, the loss impacts us all, but as Chazal say, damo b’rosho.
Wait. What was that thing about “innocent” Palestinians?
BD”E. Hy”d.
But the Biden administration won’t condemn the Arabs. It’s the settlers who must be condemned for “terrorism “.
Go in and remove the West Bank They are already chanting river to the sea. Make it happen
REMOVE them period
And if anyone cares, Im a strong Satmar chasid (Divre Yoel) and these blind sheep: the shepherds, are in the warped Zionist minds, heroes.
Talk about not having regard to human life. Bibis encouraging these people to live in these crazy places, and then scream bloody murder. Yes! Theyre רוצחים! But why does a good Jew step foot into these מסוכן places?!
