The Israeli military said Tuesday that an American activist who was killed in the West Bank last week was likely shot "indirectly and unintentionally" by Israeli forces who were aiming at someone else.
Eygi, a volunteer with the activist group International Solidarity Movement, was attending a weekly demonstration against settlement expansion that has been held for years and has often brought Israeli crackdowns and protester stone-throwing. Earlier in 2022, Israel's military said it would punish a senior officer and remove two others from their posts over the death of Omar Assad, 78, a Palestinian-American who was dragged from a car by Israeli troops, bound and blindfolded after being stopped at a checkpoint.
That case deeply divided Israelis, with the military saying Azaria had clearly violated its code of ethics, while many Israelis -- particularly on the nationalist right -- defended his actions and accused military brass of second-guessing a soldier operating in dangerous conditions.Canadian fast food chains create value menus to win back customers
