The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) targeted and sniped a human rights activist and US-Turkish citizen in the head while she was peacefully protesting the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, an American-Turkish human rights activist, arrived in the West Bank on Tuesday to volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) as part of a campaign to protect Palestinian farmers from settler and IOF violence. 

It is worth noting that Eygi would be the third ISM volunteer the IOF murdered, after Rachel Corrie in 2004 and Tom Hurndall in 2005. 

"An American solidarity activist arrived at the hospital with a gunshot in the head, and we announced her martyrdom around 14:30," the director of Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, Fouad Nafaa said on Friday.

The Hamas Resistance movement issued a statement strongly condemning the Israeli crime that led to Eygi's martyrdom, stressing that it is an extension of the Israeli murders deliberately targeting international volunteers in occupied Palestine.

In July, foreign volunteers helping Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank were attacked and assaulted by Israeli settlers, with some having to be transported to the hospital to receive medical treatment for reported injuries, activists stated on Sunday. 

Eight volunteers, most of whom are American, were attacked by a group of 11 Israeli settlers from the Esh Kodesh illegal settlement while working in an olive grove near the Palestinian village of Qusra, David Hummel, an American-German volunteer, said. 

"We were standing there peacefully, not a threat to anyone when they started coming towards us and pushing us down the path," he told AFP, adding "They started attacking and beating us all with sticks and metal pipes and they were throwing rocks as well at us."

Hummel described the attack as "very violent" and showed AFP his bruises sustained after the settlers beat his legs, arms, and jaw.
