Israeli Military Acknowledges Killing of Activist
News summary

The Israeli military acknowledged that its forces likely unintentionally killed Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist, during a protest in the West Bank, expressing deep regret over the incident. Eygi was shot in the head amid clashes between protestors and Israeli troops, which the military characterized as a 'violent riot' involving rocks and burning tires. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the killing as 'unprovoked and unjustified,' calling for fundamental changes in Israeli military operations in the region. Eygi's family vehemently disputed the notion of unintentionality, expressing offense over the assertion that a trained sniper's actions could be accidental. An investigation is ongoing, and the Israeli military has requested to perform an autopsy in coordination with Palestinian authorities. Meanwhile, the International Solidarity Movement accused Israel of deliberately targeting Eygi during the protest.
