STORYLINE:
The governor of a city in the occupied West Bank on Saturday called for an end to the "war on the Palestinian people" after a US activist and a 13-year-old girl were reportedly shot and killed by Israeli soldiers.
Nablus Governor Ghassan Daghlas addressed the media standing in a hospital morgue over the wrapped bodies of 26-year-old American Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, of Seattle, and Palestinian teenager Bana Laboom who were both killed this week.
"We tell the whole world, it’s time to stop the crazy war on the Palestinian people," Daghlas said.
Two witnesses told The Associated Press that Israeli soldiers fatally shot Eygi, a volunteer with the activist group International Solidarity Movement, on Friday, while she was participating in a protest against settlements in the West Bank.
Two doctors confirmed she was shot in the head — one who administered first aid at the scene, and the director of Rafidia Hospital in Nablus where she was taken.
The United States government confirmed Eygi’s death but did not say whether the recent graduate of the University of Washington, who was also a Turkish citizen, had been shot by Israeli troops.
The White House said it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing of a US citizen and called on Israel to investigate what happened.
The Israeli military said it was looking into reports that troops had killed a foreign national while firing at an “instigator” in the area of the protest.
On Thursday, Israeli troops shot and killed a 13-year-old Laboom in her village outside Nablus, Palestinian health officials said.
There was no immediate military comment on the report.
