#Paelatine / "instigator of violent activity"
Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish dual national, has been shot dead – reportedly by Israeli troops – while participating in a protest against settler expansion in the occupied West Bank.
IDF claimed that they were looking into the incident and maintained (misleadingly) that Eygi was an "instigator of violent activity."
According to The Guardian, Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi's death is not an isolated incident. At least 10 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops in protests related to settler expansion in the West Bank since 2021.

Jonathan Pollak, a volunteer with ISM, said the shooting took place about 30 minutes after protesters had dispersed, at a time when there were no active clashes taking place, and as foreign volunteers, including Eygi, stood observing at a distance of about 200 yards from the Israeli military.
“There was no justification for taking that shot,” he said.
