According to eyewitnesses, Israeli forces attacked the anti-occupation demonstration in the town of Beyta, located in the Nablus district of the West Bank, with live ammunition. According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, Eygi, who also holds US citizenship, was shot in the head and taken to the hospital. Fuad Nafia, the director of Rafidiye State Hospital in Nablus, said in an interview with AA that despite all interventions, they were unable to save Eygi, who was brought to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the head.
