The Israeli military says an American activist who was shot and killed in the West Bank last week was likely shot “indirectly and unintentionally” by Israeli forces aiming at someone else. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old activist from Seattle, was killed on Friday following a demonstration against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
ADDS WITNESS SAYS: Two fellow activists of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, who a witness says was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers while participating in an anti-settlement protest in the West Bank , carry posters with her name and photo during Eygi’s funeral procession in the West Bank city of Nablus, Monday, Sept. 9, 2024.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old activist from Seattle, was killed Friday following a demonstration against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. The military said Tuesday that its inquiry “found that it is highly likely that she was hit indirectly and unintentionally by fire which was not aimed at her, but aimed at the key instigator of the riot.”
Other protesters said there had been clashes between Israeli forces firing tear gas and live rounds and Palestinians throwing rocks but that the violence had subsided before Eygi was shot.
