The UN demanded a full investigation into the killing of 26-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US-Turkish national, during a protest against Jewish settlement expansion in Beita, West Bank. Eyewitnesses reported that Israeli soldiers fired shots, hitting Eygi in the head. The Israeli military acknowledged the incident, stating that they were responding to stone-throwing during the protest. The US and Turkey also called for an inquiry. Eygi, a recent University of Washington graduate, was attending her first protest with the International Solidarity Movement. Turkish President Erdogan condemned the killing as "barbaric."
