The Israel Defense Forces said on Friday that troops, including special forces, were working alongside police to locate a missing 14-year-old boy in the West Bank, as violent clashes broke out in one of the villages they searched.

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, according to police.

The chief of the IDF Central Command, Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox and the head of the West Bank division, Brig. Gen. Yaki Dolf, were at the scene leading the searches, the military said.

Police and military forces were blocking roads in the area.

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

The Shin Bet security agency, along with hundreds of volunteers, also joined the army and Border Police in looking for Achimeir, having searched the nearby West Bank towns of Duma and al-Mughayyir. The IDF said the circumstances around the boy’s disappearance were still unknown and was not sure if the incident was terror-related.

Amid the searches, settlers entered al-Mughayyir and clashed with locals, with the Yesh Din rights group reporting they employed live fire.

Video from the town showed mask settlers throwing rocks, while reports said they also burned a number of cars there.

At least one Palestinian was said to have been killed. Israeli medics said three IDF soldiers and a civilian were wounded.

The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the incidents.
