Turkish-American citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli troops in the West Bank on September 6, was shot by a soldier who opened fire from a long distance, according to recently disclosed information from an official forensic examination.
Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, an American-Turkish human rights activist, arrived in the West Bank to volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) as part of a campaign to protect Palestinian farmers from settler and IOF violence.
According to the report, Eygi had one firearm bullet core entry wound on her body, from a shot capable of causing death on its own, and no burns, smoke, soot, or gunpowder residues were detected around the firearm entry hole, indicating that the shot was fired from a distance.
The forensic autopsy report conducted in the Turkish seaside city of Izmir, where her body was just returned before burial rituals, revealed that no harmful substances were identified in her bloodstream.
The study also mentioned that there was a cerebral bleed and brain damage.
Israeli soldier who 'took kill shot' at Eygi 'shouted in joy': Witness
The Israeli sniper who shot and murdered Eygi in the West Bank screamed in delight after the murder, Palestinian eyewitness Mounir Khdair reported.
Khdair told Anadolu, "After shooting her, he was happy, he shouted for joy."
Jonathan Pollak, an Israeli activist who has been partaking in protests against Israeli settlement expansion in the region for many years, expressed that the Israeli soldier responsible for Eygi's murder "took a kill shot," yet this is not an "isolated incident", he maintained, detailing how the same bullet that killed the Turkish activist "killed people in Nur Shams and Jenin."
Pollak stated that a 13-year-old girl was killed only a few kilometers away, emphasizing the weapons are "American-funded" to continue the genocide in Gaza "with complete impunity."
Pollak also falsified Israeli claims of feeling threatened by activists throwing stones, affirming that things were very calm when the activist was killed.
The claims echo similar ones of other witnesses who reported that Eygi was killed during a peaceful time, with no clashes or violent confrontations reported.
