Israeli forces shot dead American activist in occupied West Bank
The 26-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was shot in the head in the town of Beita, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
 
According to the Palestinian Wafa news agency, Eygi was in the West Bank volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), which works to support and protect Palestinian farmers from Israeli military and settler attacks.
 
Eygi is the third ISM volunteer killed by Israeli forces in Palestine, along with dozens of other foreign activists.
 
The most famous case is Rachel Corrie, who was crushed under the tracks of an Israeli tank in Gaza’s Rafah region in 2003.
 
Hamas has condemned the murder, describing it as an example of constant attacks on foreign activists in Palestinian lands.
 
“These crimes continue in the West Bank with systematic and continuous attacks on solidarity activists by the occupation army and its settler gangs, as happens in all peaceful solidarity events and marches in the villages and towns of the West Bank threatened by settlement and Judaization projects,” the movement said in a statement.
 
Turkey has also issued a statement condemning the murder of the young girl.
 
The statement said that it had learned "with great sorrow that our citizen named Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed by Israeli occupation soldiers in the city of Nablus".
