26-Year-Old American Activist Aysenur Eygi Killed by Israeli Forces During West Bank Protest
Sep 6, 2024, 02:30 PM
A 26-year-old American activist of Turkish descent, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, was shot and killed by Israeli forces during a nonviolent protest against settlement expansion in Beita, near Mount Sabih, south of Nablus, in the West Bank. Eygi was participating in a peaceful demonstration when she was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper. Her body was taken to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus. The incident has drawn widespread condemnation, with the Turkish Foreign Ministry calling it a 'murder committed by the Netanyahu government.' The U.S. State Department has expressed its condolences and is urging an investigation into the incident, with the White House stating it is 'deeply disturbed' by the tragic death. Eygi's death marks the third killing of an International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activist by Israeli soldiers since the deaths of Rachel Corrie and Tom Hurndall in Gaza in 2003 and 2004, respectively.
