US activist was not near 'violent riot' when killed by Israeli fire: Report (www.middleeasteye.net)

An investigation conducted by The Washington Post has raised new doubts about Israel’s claim that US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed “during a violent riot” in Beita, Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

According to the report, Eygi was shot more than a half-hour after the height of violence between Israeli soldiers and protestors - and 20 minutes after protesters had moved further down the road. The report also confirmed that Eygi was more than 200 yards away from Israeli soldiers when she was shot in the head.

The report provides more detail on how Israeli soldiers respond to protests over Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which violates international law.

Eygi's family has demanded the US call for an independent investigation into her killing. In a statement, they said they were “deeply offended by the suggestion that her killing by a trained sniper was in any way unintentional”.
