Benjamin Achimeir went missing on 12 April after going to herd sheep near the Palestinian village of Mughayir.

As the search went on, settlers torched homes in Mughayir and shot a resident.

Achimeir's body was found a day later. The Israeli military said he had been killed in a "terrorist attack".

At least four Palestinians were killed as settler violence spread to nearby areas over the following days.
