American-Turkish Woman Killed in West Bank Protest

A 26-year-old American woman, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who held dual U.S. and Turkish citizenship, was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers during a protest against settlement expansion in the West Bank town of Beita. Eygi was reportedly shot in the head and later died in a hospital in Nablus. The Israeli military confirmed that troops opened fire on what they described as a 'main instigator' of violent activity. Eygi was a member of the International Solidarity Movement and was participating in a weekly demonstration that turned violent, with Israeli forces using live ammunition, tear gas, and stun grenades. The U.S. and Turkish governments have called for an investigation into the incident, expressing deep concern over her death. The U.S. State Department is urgently gathering more information about the circumstances of her death.
