Hundreds of volunteers join hunt for Israeli teen missing in West Bank since Friday morning

The search for a 14-year-old boy missing in the West Bank is continuing, with hundreds of volunteers joining police and IDF troops.

Jerusalem resident Benjamin Achimeir left a farm near the outpost of Malachei Shalom in the early morning hours to go shepherding, and has not been seen since. The sheep returned to “Gal Farm” without him, police said.

The Shin Bet security agency is also involved in looking for Achimeir.

The circumstances around the boy’s disappearance were still unknown and the military was not sure if the incident was terror-related.

Malachei Shalom is located near the West Bank town of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah.

Yesterday, Palestinians said settlers rampaged in the village of al-Mughayyir, shooting and setting houses and cars on fire and sparking clashes between Palestinians and soldiers that killed a Palestinian man and wounded 25 others.
