CAUGHT ON CAMERA: After Murdering Jewish Teen, Knife Wielding Terrorist Spotted Waiting for his Next Victim

On Thursday, security camera footage showing the terrorist who murdered Israeli teenager Binyamin Achimeir holding a knife, waiting for his next victim. The footage was released by Chairman of the Subcommittee on Yehuda and Shomron Affairs, MK Tzvi Succot.

The footage was shown during a special meeting held by Succot, whose goal was to investigate a series of failures surrounding the murder and the search for Achimeir’s body.

Taken 3 and half hours after he murdered Achimeir, the terrorist is shown waiting at the gate to the Malachei Hashalom farm where Achimeir worked, still holding a knife. It shows the terrorist pacing at the farm gate, before deciding to leave the area.

At the beginning of the meeting, Achimeir’s father spoke alongside representatives from the Binyamin Regional Council, the IDF, the Israel Police, the volunteers who discovered the body, and the Israel Dog Unit, a nonprofit specializing in working dogs.

MK Succot said: “I convened the meeting today to first understand the series of failures and then to draw lessons and formulate organized procedures for locating the missing in Yehuda and Shomron and in general. During the meeting, we watched footage of the terrorist after the murder, slowly walking with a drawn knife, waiting for the next victim. Had this video been released at the time, we could have shortened many processes.”

Amichai Rachamim, the deputy governor of the Binyamin Regional Council, emphasized in the meeting: “The settlement and the army are one both in routine and in emergency. It is of utmost importance to enhance our hold on the territory by establishing observation posts to prevent the next murder. The terrorist seen in the picture with a knife in his hand wanted to murder as many Jews as possible. He is nourished by a supportive environment. The security system must send a message in actions on the ground that will cause anyone thinking of committing such attacks to repent immediately.”

IDU director Yekutiel Ben-Yaakov suggested implementing a system that coordinates between all forces when a missing person is reported to better coordinate search and rescue efforts. He urged the IDF to put into place a better security measures to protect the Jewish shepherds: ”This heinous murder should and could have been avoided, and better coordination between the rescue teams could have led to a much quicker discovery of the body.”

Binyamin Achimeir was just 14 years old when he was murdered.
