Israel says 'highly likely' its troops killed US-Turkish protester in West Bank

Israel's military has said it was "highly likely" its forces shot dead a 26-year-old US-Turkish woman at a protest in the occupied West Bank last week, though unintentionally.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was demonstrating in the town of Beita, near Nablus, against Jewish settlement expansion on 6 August.

Local media reports said she had been shot by Israeli troops, prompting an investigation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Tuesday's release of findings concluded it was "highly likely that she was hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire which was not aimed at her, but aimed at the key instigator of the riot."
