Israeli forces have arrested Palestinian Ahmed Dawabsha, 21, in the town of Duma in the occupied West Bank, Israeli media say, citing a joint statement by the army and the Shin Bet, Al Jazeera reports.

Dawabsha is accused of killing earlier this month Israeli settler Benjamin Achimer.

The 14-year-old was found dead a day after he went missing. As they were looking for Achimer, dozens of settlers stormed the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, killing one Palestinian and wounding at least 25 people. Other villages were attacked the following days as mobs of settlers set on fire homes and cars.
