On Sunday night, the ISA, Israel Police, and IDF arrested Ahmad Dawabshe, the terrorist who murdered Binyamin Achimeir, a Jewish shepherd, in a bloody and brutal terror attack last week.
Dawabshe is from the Palestinian Authority Arab town of Duma, in the Binyamin Region.
Achimeir, a shepherd, left his hometown of Malachei Hashalom at six in the morning on the day of the terror attack, but later the flock he led returned to the village without him.
The first to reach the body were Brigadier General Hazi Nehama, who volunteered to search, and Eliyahu Libman, whose son is being held by Hamas. They were directed to the area of the body by an IDF drone.
Libman recounted finding the body: "This was a particularly cruel murder. An IDF drone saw something unusual and sent us a waypoint. We were close to the area, so we went to search there and unfortunately found the body."
"It was quite close to where he had set out from. The site was extremely disturbing. His head had been smashed with a rock, and three meters away was a knife covered in blood and another rock. His phone was smashed nearby. This was particularly cruel and horrifying."
Col. (Res.) Hezi Nehama, the former commander of the Menashe Brigade, who participated in the search for Achimeir, told 103FM Radio that, "It was a planned attack. Arabs don’t just wander around there during the day. It was someone who came with the intention to kill from the beginning. He came with a knife and ambushed the young boy."
