Mourners attend funeral for American activist witness says was shot dead by Israeli troops
The Western-backed Palestinian Authority has held a funeral procession for a U.S.-Turkish dual national activist who a witness says was shot and killed by Israeli forces while demonstrating against settlements in the occupied West Bank. Dozens of mourners — including several leading PA officials — attended Monday's procession. Security forces carried the body of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi which was draped in a Palestinian flag while a traditional black-and-white checkered scarf covered her face. The 26-year-old’s body was then placed into the back of a Palestinian ambulance. Turkey's foreign ministry says it is working on repatriating the remains.
