[IsraelTimes] Army probing circumstances of 26-year-old’s death near Nablus; 13-year-old reportedly shot inside her room as extremist Israelis enter town, clash with locals

The slain woman was named as Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, 26, an American originally from Turkey. She was reportedly an activist with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
An American woman was shot and killed by IDF troops during a protest near Nablus in the northern West Bank on Friday, two doctors told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

Separately, a 13-year-old Paleostinian girl was reported rubbed out when bully boy settlers stormed a village near Nablus and clashed with villagers.

In the first case, witnesses and Paleostinian media reported that the woman was shot by Israeli troops while attending a pro-Paleostinian demonstration against settlement expansion in the Paleostinian town of Beita, southeast of Nablus.

Dr. Ward Basalat said the 26-year-old woman was shot in the head and died after arriving at a hospital. Dr. Fouad Naffa, the head of the hospital, also confirmed the death of an American citizen.

. She was reportedly an activist with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
ISM is a leftwing Palestinian “peace movement” founded shortly before 9/11 with funding from the Holy Land Trust that uses international activists as human shields to protect Palestinian terrorists and provide propaganda for the Palestinian cause. Cf. Rachel Corrie, a.k.a. St. Pancake.
The Israeli military said it was investigating the matter.

Protests happen regularly and have grown violent mostly peaceful in the past. A month ago, American citizen Amado Sison was shot in the leg by Israeli forces, he said, as he tried to flee tear gas and live fire.

According to the IDF, during operations near the town of Beita close to Nablus, troops shot up a "main instigator" who was hurling stones at the forces and had "posed a threat."

"A claim that a foreign citizen was killed by gunfire in the area is being investigated. The details of the incident and the circumstances of her being hit are under investigation," the IDF added.

"We deplore this tragic loss," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...
told news hounds on a visit to the Dominican Republic, offering his "deepest condolences" to the family of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US-Ottoman Turkish dual national.
What about the poor Israeli soldiers, traumatized by Ms Eygi’s successful suicide-by-IDF? Has his excellency, the American secretary of state, no sympathy for his plight?
Asked if the United States would take action against Israel, Blinken said: "First things first — let’s find out exactly what happened and we will draw the necessary conclusions and consequences from that.

"When we have more info, we will share it, make it available and, as necessary, we’ll act on it," he said. "I have no higher priority than the safety and protection of American citizens wherever they are."
”Mr. Secretary! Mr. Secretary! Do you know the history of the International Solidarity Movement? Or are you trying to protect Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances with the anti-Israel vote?”
Turkey also condemned the "murder committed by the Netanyahu government."

"Israel is trying to intimidate all those who come to the aid of the Paleostinian people and who fight peacefully against the genocide.
Just to clarify: when the Jews are genocided, 6 million of them are murdered and their bodies turned into soap and mattress stuffing in an attempt to wipe the entire population off the face of the earth. When Palestinians are genocided, their population goes up from 1 million in 1948 to 4 million today, while the IDF pauses a war to get polio vaccines and chef-made prepared meals to the civilian population Boy, those dumb Israelis really do not understand how its’s done...
This policy of violence will not work," a statement from the Foreign Ministry said, accusing Israel of "crimes against humanity."

Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact...
Paleostinian media reported that a 13-year-old was killed after being shot by Israeli forces near Nablus amid a clash between bully boy settlers and local villagers.

She was evacuated at death's door from the village of Qaryut to a hospital in Nablus, according to the PA official news agency Wafa, where doctors pronounced her death.

According to the report, Bana Amjad Bakr was shot while in her room at her home in Qaryut.

The Yesh Din rights group said the incident began when dozens of settlers, allegedly guarded by Israeli soldiers, stormed the West Bank village and lit fires in the area. The shots that killed Bakr were fired during festivities that ensued between the settlers and Paleostinian villagers.

Earlier Friday, Kan reported that a car was set alight overnight and the word “Dire Revenge" graffitied in Hebrew along with a Star of David in the West Bank village of Khirbet Abu Falah, near Ramallah.

Arrests of perpetrators in such so-called "price tag attacks" on Paleostinians by settlers are exceedingly rare and rights groups lament that convictions are even more unusual, with the majority of charges in such cases being dropped.

In Jenin, Paleostinian media reported earlier that Israeli troops had withdrawn from the West Bank city following a 10-day operation. The Paleostinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency said the troops pulled out of the city at dawn. However,

the army said that "troops are continuing with the operation until its objectives are achieved."

The IDF has been carrying out a major operation in the northern West Bank since August 28. The operation — internally dubbed "Summer Camps" by the army — began with simultaneous raids on Jenin, Tulkarem and the Far’a camp near Tubas, with the goal of dismantling Iran-backed Hamas

and Paleostinian Islamic Jihad

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

terror networks in the three areas of the northern West Bank.

So far, according to the IDF, more than 36 button men have been killed in the operation, among them the head of Hamas in Jenin and the head of Islamic Jihad in the Tulkarem area. Another 46 wanted Paleostinians have been detained.

Violence in the West Bank has surged in the past year, following the October 7 Hamas terror onslaught in southern Israel, in which some 1,200 people were massacred and 251 were taken hostage.

Since that date, Israeli troops have arrested some 5,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,000 affiliated with Hamas.

According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 670 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or turbans carrying out attacks.

During the same period, 29 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces have been killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
