Israel initially denied the attack, while Hamas condemned the incident as a massacre. - **22 June**: Israeli artillery shelled refugee tents in Al-Mawasi, Rafah, killing 25 Palestinians and setting tents on fire, forcing residents to flee north to Khan Yunis. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported that shells landed near its office and staff residences, affecting many of their Palestinian staff and families. The shelling led to a large influx of casualties to the ICRC's field hospital in the area. - **13 July**: Airstrikes on Al-Nas part of Al-Mawasi refugee camps killed 90 people and injured 300, half of whom were women and children. Israel stated the target was Hamas military leaders, though this was denied by Hamas. - **16 July**: A drone strike hit a civilian vehicle in Khan Yunis, killing 17 Palestinians and injuring 26. - **10 September**: Israeli forces bombed refugee tents near Khan Yunis, killing 40 Palestinians and injuring 60. Many victims remain buried under the sand.

On September 6, 2024, around 2 p.m., groups of Israeli settlers attacked the village of Qaryut, which is surrounded by the illegal Israeli settlements of Shiloh, Eli, and Rachel. The residents confronted the settlers to protect their homes and property, forcing the settlers to retreat to the outskirts. Around half an hour later, Israeli forces entered the village, firing indiscriminately at homes and residents, and confrontation erupted between the forces and residents by throwing stones. The Israeli raid on the village continued until around 6 p.m. on the same day, resulting in the killing of Banah and injuring two Palestinian youths. **According to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine** Banah Amjad Bakr Laboum, 13, was shot and killed by an Israeli sniper around 4:50 p.m. Banah had opened a window of her family’s house, located in the center of the village, where Israeli soldiers were stationed in an alley directly across from the house. An Israeli sniper shot Banah in the chest after she opened the window and was struck by a bullet in the chest from a distance of 150 to 200 meters (492 to 656 feet) away. Banah was covered in blood and unconscious. Her father immediately carried her to an ambulance close to the house and transferred her to Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus city, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. **Qaryut** is located 17 km south of Nablus.

A few days ago, Bana had prepared her school uniform with her mother and bought a new bag. She was eagerly anticipating returning to school on Monday. The summer break had ended, and with great excitement, she was ready to go back and become a ninth-grade student. However, instead of welcoming her home after school on Monday, her father bid his final farewell to her in the hospital morgue on Friday evening. Father Amjad had prepared his daughter for school; he was filled with excitement. …But my daughter was shot by a sniper. She was on the balcony of our house, struck directly in the heart. My daughter is no more important than those who died in Gaza or Jenin. They are all the children of Palestine. The fate of the Palestinians is our fate.Bana had eagerly prepared for her return to school after the summer break, anticipating her first day as a ninth-grader. Her father, who had shared her excitement, instead said his final goodbye in a hospital morgue.* **Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Response**: The Ministry condemned the "execution" of Bana Baker, citing it as part of a broader pattern of violence against Palestinian civilians, especially children, by Israeli forces and settlers. **Call for International Protection**: The MFA urged the international community to enforce international law, provide protection for Palestinians, and impose sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements, as violence against Palestinians escalates under the protection of the Israeli military.

After prayers, Israeli soldiers follow the young men who are heading home, which leads to scuffles. They fire tear gas and live rounds, and the young men throw stones at them,”* *“That day, the Israelis were firing live rounds towards the Palestinians and foreign volunteers. The two groups were about 300 metres [330 yards] apart, so the stones didn’t hit the soldiers. A sniper was among the soldiers because he placed a weapon on top of the wall. He fired two rounds, and one hit the Turkish woman, Aysenur. An ambulance took her away.The Israeli soldiers were so happy after the sniper hit Aysenur because they thought they had hit a Palestinian.* source : [https://aje.io/ivfzi9?update=3178716](url) **Hospital Report:** Fouad Nafaa, head of Rafida Hospital, confirmed that Eygi arrived in critical condition with a severe head injury.

This would be a tired sham; a stunt that we have seen countless times whenever the IDF is caught red-handed. Only sanctions can deter such atrocities!"* ### **Funerals and remembrance:** - Her funeral procession was taking place in Nablus, on Septemebr 9 among Palestinian people. - Turkey's Foreign Ministry is **exploring ways to bring Eygi's body to Turkey**, as land crossings to Jordan have been shut down by Israel. - Turkey is considering t**ransporting her body by plane to avoid delays**, following a request from her family. source : [https://aje.io/uzyds7?update=3167207](url) ### **International Solidarity Movement statement** : **Rob Sadler** of the International Solidarity Movement says despite the killing of its volunteer Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, he and other foreign activists will continue to highlight Israel’s deadly violence and land theft in the occupied West Bank : *“Clearly Israel is gearing up to subjugate the West Bank and the Palestinian people even further with the view of increasing their military control over the territory. We’re here because we’ve been invited to expose this programme of destruction against the Palestinian people and support them in practical and nonviolent ways. Clearly the international community cannot be trusted to do this as we’ve seen by the Americans’ complicity in the genocide in Gaza. So it’s more important than ever for us to show the world that Palestine does not stand alone. The existence of this terrorist state and their genocidal campaign should be a disgusting affront to all of humanity. And if our governments won’t stand against it, we will".* Source : [https://aje.io/ivfzi9?update=3178814](url) ### Context : The Nablus Governorate is an administrative district of Palestine located in the Central Highlands of the West Bank, 53 km north of Jerusalem. It covers the area around the city of Nablus which serves as the muhfaza (seat) of the governorate. The governor of the district is Mahmoud Aloul. **Nablus is not part of the State of Israel and the presence of the Israeli army is considered under international law and by the UN as an occupation. Additionally, the northern West Bank became an annexation target announced by Netanyahu's government on September 3, 2024.** ### Diplomatic consequences The killing of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi in the occupied West Bank has sparked national mourning in Turkey and is expected to strain Turkey-Israel relations further. Ankara is likely to pursue legal action over the incident, according to analyst Vehbi Baysan. Turkey, which had initially tried to mediate in the Gaza conflict, stepped back after Israel's rejection. While Turkey does not seek to completely sever diplomatic ties, it aims to hold Israel accountable for its actions against Palestinians, which will likely complicate the already tense relations between the two countries.
