Israel’s army says it has found the body of a 14-year-old shepherd in the occupied West Bank, a day after he went missing.

Benjamin Achimeir had taken a flock of sheep out to graze from Malachi Hashalom, a settler outpost near Ramallah on Friday morning.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu called Achimeir’s death a “heinous murder”.

A Palestinian man was shot overnight during an Israeli search for the teenager.

It is not clear whether the man – Jehad Abu Alia, 26 – was shot by an armed settler or an Israeli soldier.

Israeli media reported Achimeir left “Gal Farm” in the settler outpost of Malachei Shalom early on Friday, and had not been seen since.

He had been grazing sheep, and the sheep returned to the farm without him, police said.

Achimeir’s sister Hannah, quoted by AFP news agency, said he was familiar with the area.
