Why does the Israeli army kill foreign militants without being worried? | Israeli-Palestinian conflict


Investigations into attacks by Israeli soldiers on civilians rarely result in prosecutions.

The killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist in the occupied West Bank, has once again highlighted a troubling problem: Israeli forces targeting civilians.

Despite international condemnation and calls for justice, questions remain about whether anyone will be held accountable.

The Israeli military says it is investigating, but critics say such internal investigations rarely result in prosecutions.

What will it take to break this cycle? And who will hold Israel to account?
