The United Nations human rights office said Israeli forces shot and killed an American-Turkish activist on Friday during a West Bank protest at which the army has acknowledged opening fire.
"On 6 September ISF shot in the head and killed a 26-year-old American activist in Beita, Nablus, while she was participating in a peaceful anti-settlement protest," the office for the Palestinian territories said in a statement, referring to the Israeli security forces.
The Israeli army said it was "looking into reports that a foreign national was killed as a result of shots fired".
