This is a sequence of the events that led to the death of Aysenur Ezgi, according to eyewitnesses’ accounts conveyed to the Palestine Chronicle reporter in the West Bank.

A 26-year-old international activist died on Friday from critical head injuries after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in Beita, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

The activist, identified as Aysenur Ezgi, an American of Turkish descent, was shot in the head with live ammunition while participating in the weekly protest against settlement expansion, the Palestine Chronicle correspondent from the West Bank reported.

This is a sequence of the events that led to the death of Aysenur Ezgi, according to eyewitnesses’ accounts conveyed to the Palestine Chronicle reporter in the West Bank:

According to eyewitnesses from Beita, a group of foreign activists came to stand in solidarity with Palestinian farmers as part of the Faza’a campaign to protect them from the Israeli army and settler violence.

Indeed, the activist had been involved with the Faz’a campaign, an organization that aims to support and protect Palestinian farmers from violations by illegal Jewish settlers and military forces.

An Israeli sniper fired bullets at the residents and solidarity activists who participated in the weekly anti-settlement march, wounding Ezgi in the head, an eyewitness told The Palestine Chronicle.

The injury was serious, which led to tissue damage in the brain, medical sources at the Rafidia Hospital said. 

Paramedics were able to transfer Ezgi to the Rafidia Hospital in the city of Nablus, where she was declared dead as a direct result of her injuries.

One of the residents of Beita was also injured by shrapnel from a second bullet that was fired at the same time, although neither Ezgi nor the other wounded person posed any threat to the soldiers stationed on the hills adjacent to the site of the weekly march.

Eyewitnesses told the Palestine Chronicle that the soldiers continued to fire tear gas canisters towards the peaceful activists, which led to several cases of suffocation. 

Eyewitnesses also conveyed that one of the soldiers was seen dancing following the fatal injury of the American-Turkish activist. 

A short time following the murder of Ezgi, the Israeli army killed a 13-year-old Palestinian girl, Bana Amjad, by hitting her with a bullet in her chest while she was inside her home in the town of Qaryut near Beita.

  1. The pigs dance after killing women, children and civilians who pose them no threat. This is all what the filth of humanity is good for. But when it comes to fighting the resistance fighters, the Zionists are crying like frightened girls even when they have the big toys provided to them by their uncle, Sam. Cowards and scumbags, that is the reality of Zionists.

  2. A peace activist who was not interacting with the zionist murderers and a 13 year old girl in her own home? What kind of animals are they breeding in this illegal state that one would dance after shooting a woman in the head? But there should be no surprise after what they have done to the people of Gaza. Despicable pieces of flesh in this zionist regime.

  3. These behavioural traits exhibited by these genetic throwback misanthropes is nothing new when viewed in an historical context.

    Back in the good ol’ days when their “ancestors” (for want of a better word) were hanging loose around the Black Sea coast, making complete c–ts of themselves with neighbouring peoples, they eventually got sorted out big time by the ‘Rus’ and Persians.

    You know, Settlement of Palé, and all that. Big, big chip on their shoulders since then. Now, looks as though the same crowd will be prevailed upon to sort this dirty murderous crowd out once again. Good luck to us all with that endeavour.

  4. ” Eyewitnesses also conveyed that one of the soldiers was seen dancing following the fatal injury of the American-Turkish activist. ”

    just like those 5 dancing Israelis were seen dancing after the US government attacked its own citizens on 9/11. that wasn’t real, a pre-planned distraction.
    it’s been said that there are American troops in Gaza. Who really pulled the trigger? good way to keep America invested in the war…
