Eygi, a 26-year-old American activist of Turkish origin, was shot in the head by Israeli forces during a protest against settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Eygi was volunteering with the Faz'a campaign to protect Palestinian farmers within the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), having just arrived in Palestine days earlier.
Israeli forces have killed many Americans whose deaths have gone largely unacknowledged by U.S. officials, despite continued arms supply that facilitates these incidents.
The incident highlights a troubling pattern, as Eygi becomes the third ISM volunteer to be killed by Israeli forces, following in the footsteps of Corrie and Hurndall.
