The investigation revealed that protests had subsided before Israeli forces opened fire, highlighting that there was no immediate threat justifying the firing on Eygi and others.
Eygi was shot more than a half-hour after confrontations peaked, and 20 minutes after protesters had distanced themselves more than 200 yards from Israeli forces.
President Biden stated Eygi's killing resulted from a tragic error, likely due to a bullet ricochet, indicating an unnecessary escalation by Israeli forces.
The Washington Post's examination drew on 13 witnesses' accounts and over 50 pieces of video and photo evidence, pointing to significant mischaracterization of events by the IDF.
