Israel’s military has said it was highly likely its troops fired the shot that killed Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, the American-Turkish woman killed at a protest in the occupied West Bank.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said her death was unintentional and expressed deep regret.
The statement came as Antony Blinken, the US secretary of state, called the killing of the 26-year-old last week “unprovoked and unjustified”.
Speaking on a diplomatic visit to London, Blinken told journalists that Eygi’s death showed the Israeli security forces needed to make fundamental changes to their rules of engagement.
“Yeah, in fact that was probably Steve, crazy mother fucker is always shooting into crowds thinking he sees Hamas”.
"Man I really wish Steve would stop doing that!
Anyway, here you go Steve I loaded a few more magazines for you, try not to hit innocents this time haha"
