According to Kan, the attack occurred some two months ago at the edge of the Al Mughayyir village in the West Bank. A day before, 14-year-old Binyamin Achimair was reported missing. 

Achimair left a farm in the West Bank in the morning to graze sheep, and they returned without him after a few hours. 

Massive searches occurred following his disappearance, in which people participating were reportedly attacked near the village of Al Mughayyir.

Golan had reportedly arrived in the area to document the searches for Ahimeir, after which he was subsequently attacked.
