American-Turkish activist killed in West Bank as Israeli forces opened fire
The IDF says it is investigating after Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was shot at a protest in Beita.
In a statement, the IDF said: "Today (Friday), during Israeli security forces activity adjacent to the area of Beita, the forces responded with fire toward a main instigator of violent activity who hurled rocks at the forces and posed a threat to them.
Oh no, some rocks, better bite the hand that feeds
Bibi better be Careful! For every AMERICAN he KILLS The US Government will DELAY his Weapons Shipment by a SECOND!
This isn't the worst-phrased headline I've seen, but it still feels like it's tiptoeing around "IDF kills American-Turkish activist in West Bank."
Almost all the citations use quotation marks except this one:
The Palestinian health ministry says at least 36 Palestinians were killed - 21 from Jenin governorate - in that time. Most of the dead have been claimed by armed groups as members, but the ministry says children are also among those killed.
The bolded text (normal text in the article) seems to be genocidal misinformation/propagana. I don't belive that the PA (or Hamas) health ministry said that phrase.
To compensate the exces of quotes to the IOF, this is the statement of the PFLP:

The martyrdom of Turkish-American activist Aisha Ezgi is a continuation of a long series of occupation targeting all free voices.
- The martyrdom of the Turkish-American activist, Aisha Noor Ezgi, after being shot in the head by occupation forces near Mount Sbeih in the town of Beita, south of occupied Nablus, is yet another Zionist crime added to the occupation’s black record of targeting foreign activists in solidarity with our people.
- This crime brings to mind a long series of crimes committed by the occupation against international solidarity activists, from the assassination of American activist Rachel Corrie and British activist Tom Hurndall in Rafah, to the attack on the "Mavi Marmara" ship breaking the siege, which led to the martyrdom of ten activists, among other continuous attacks and practices against those in solidarity.
- The occupation continues to target anyone who stands for justice and defends our people, further proving that this entity poses a threat to all of humanity and every free voice striving for justice, not just to the Palestinian people.
- The Front calls on all the free people of the world to unite efforts to confront this zionist, U.S.- and Western-backed usurper entity, and to work on documenting these crimes as war crimes against humanity, contributing to enhancing international efforts to isolate this rogue and rejected entity, and to prosecute its leaders as war criminals before international courts.
