Further, the investigation found Eygi was standing amid an olive grove over 230 yards away from Israeli troops — more than two football fields away. “Even an Olympic stone thrower cannot make half that distance,” Jonathan Pollak, an Israeli who often joins anti-settlement protests in Beita, told The Washington Post. A soldier on a roof had been aiming his gun toward her and Pollak, he said. After a few minutes of calm, during which Israeli forces didn’t fire off any more ammunition or tear gas, Eygi was shot in the back of the head. Though no footage was captured of the shooting, witness testimony strongly suggests that the lethal gunshot came from the soldier on the roof.
