Israeli Military Expresses Regret Over Killing of American-Turkish Activist The Israeli military has acknowledged that a slain American-Turkish activist, Aysenur Eygi, was likely "unintentionally" struck by Israeli fire during a protest in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The military's initial inquiry stated that they had intended to target a "key instigator" of the protest, which they described as a "violent riot." The incident has drawn attention to long-standing Palestinian claims of excessive force by Israeli forces during clashes and protests in the West Bank. The military police's criminal investigation division is looking into the episode and will share its findings with military prosecutors. However, Ms. Eygi's family has called for an independent investigation by senior U.S. officials to ensure full accountability. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken emphasized the need for Israeli security forces to make fundamental changes to their operations in the West Bank, including their rules of engagement. Ms. Eygi, who had recently joined activists in the West Bank, was killed during a protest in the village of Beita, where residents have been demonstrating against a settler outpost on lands claimed by the village. The Israeli military stated that they had responded with fire towards a main instigator of violent activity, but witnesses at the scene contested this, claiming that the clashes had finished by the time Ms. Eygi was shot and had occurred in a separate location. The death of Aysenur Eygi has sparked calls for accountability and changes in the way Israeli security forces operate in the West Bank.
