Israeli security forces said on Monday that they arrested a Palestinian man for allegedly killing a 14-year-old Israeli in the West Bank earlier this month in what authorities described as a terrorist attack.
Ahmed Dawabsha, 21, a resident of the West Bank town of Duma near Ramallah, was arrested overnight for his alleged involved in the murder of Benjamin Achimeir, who was found dead on April 13, a day after he went missing while herding sheep.
Dawabsha “implicated himself” in the April 12 attack near the West Bank outpost of Malachei Shalom during an interrogation, according to a joint statement from Israeli police, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the Shin Bet security agency.
The security forces led an “intelligence and operational effort in an attempt to trace the identity of the terrorist,” the statement added.
The Shin Bet said there had been significant developments in the investigation over the past day that led to the suspect’s arrest.
