Israel claims it was an accident amid a riot, but witnesses tell a different story.
The body of 26-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi has returned to Turkey to be buried in Didim, where she was born.
The Turkish-American activist was killed by Israeli troops last Friday while protesting against illegal Israeli settlements.
Israel claims Aysenur was killed accidentally during a protest in Beita, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, but growing evidence contradicts that, with witnesses saying Israeli soldiers deliberately killed her.
The Israeli army said, after a brief investigation, that it was “highly likely [she was] hit” by its soldiers, adding that it was “indirectly and unintentionally”.
