Turkey buries US-Turkish activist killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank
More than a week after US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was shot dead by Israeli forces in the West Bank, mourners gathered in her hometown of Didim in western Turkey on Saturday for her funeral service. Eygi's death has sparked international condemnation and calls for an independent inquiry. The Israeli military said the 26-year-old volunteer for the International Solidarity Movement was "unintentionally" hit while its forces were responding to a "violent riot", and that it was looking into the case.
