American activist reportedly shot dead ‘by Israeli forces’ at West Bank protest

26-year-old Aysenur Egzi Eygi was shot in the head and died after arriving at the hospital.

The family of a U.S. citizen who was shot dead by Israeli forces demanded an independent investigation into her death.

The demonstration at Westlake Park came one day after Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, was killed by Israeli forces while participating in a protest against illegal settlement expansion in the town of Beita, near Nablus in the northern West Bank.

The war in Gaza entered its 12th month on Saturday with at least 16 Palestinians killed in Gaza, a plea for justice from the family of a U.S. citizen killed in the West Bank, and no sign of progress on a cease-fire deal.
