Israeli soldiers killed an American woman demonstrating against settlements in the West Bank on Friday, two protesters who witnessed the shooting told The Associated Press. Two doctors said she was shot in the head.

Jonathan Pollak, an Israeli who was participating in Friday's protest, said the shooting occurred shortly after dozens of Palestinians and international activists held a communal prayer on a hillside outside the northern West Bank town of Beita overlooking the Israeli settlement of Evyatar. "This has been happening to Palestinians for decades. This happened because of the impunity which the Israelis act with," including help from western governments, she said. Before Friday's shooting, ISM said 17 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces at the weekly Beita protests since March 2020.
At least three activists from the International Solidarity Movement have been killed since 2000. ISM activists often place themselves between Israeli forces and Palestinians to try to stop the Israeli military from carrying out operations. Two ISM activists -- American Rachel Corrie and British photography student Tom Hurndall -- were killed in Gaza in 2003.
The settlement of Evyatar was initially an outpost unrecognized under Israeli law but was legalized by the Israeli cabinet in July, in a move the far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said was in response to recognition of Palestinian statehood by a number of countries.
