Washington, DC – One year after Israeli forces killed United States citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, her husband Hamid Ali says confusion and sorrow continue to grip his life.
“It’s been very painful adjusting to life without Aysenur – an empty house, seeing the effect it’s had on her father and her family. The word I’d use to summarise is confusing,” Ali told Al Jazeera.
Eygi, whose first name is pronounced Aysha-Nour, was fatally shot by Israeli forces while participating in a protest against an illegal settler outpost in the occupied West Bank on September 6, 2024.
As Israel intensifies its assault on Gaza, violence in the West Bank has also been on the rise. At least 10 US citizens have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers since 2022.
