Twenty-six-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi is shot in the head during a protest against illegal Israeli settlements.
Israeli forces have fatally shot an American-Turkish activist at a demonstration in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa and a hospital official say.
Twenty-six-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was taking part in the protest against illegal Israeli settlements on Mount Sbeih in Beita, south of Nablus, on Friday when she was shot.
Fouad Nafaa, the head of the Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, told the news agency Reuters that Ezgi Eygi arrived at the hospital in a critical condition with a serious head injury.
“We tried to perform a resuscitation operation on her, but unfortunately, she died,” he said.
Ezgi Eygi was shot when Israeli forces fired live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas at demonstrators, Wafa reported, quoting local sources.
