Israeli forces mischaracterised events leading to fatal shooting of US activist, says Washington Post

Protests in West Bank village had subsided half an hour before IDF shot Ayenur Ezgi Eygi, says report

Israeli security forces mischaracterised the events that led up to the fatal shooting of a Turkish-American protester in the West Bank, according to an investigation by the Washington Post.

The Israel Defense Forces claimed that their soldiers were targeting the leader of a violent protest when they shot Ayenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old member of the International Solidarity Movement who had come from her native Washington state to Israel to protest against settlements in the West Bank.
