Investigations into Israeli soldiers’ attacks on civilians rarely lead to prosecutions.
The killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old American-Turkish activist in the occupied West Bank, has once again brought a troubling issue into the spotlight: Israeli forces targeting civilians.
Despite international condemnation and calls for justice, questions linger about whether anyone will be held accountable.
The Israeli military says it is investigating, but critics say these internal probes rarely lead to prosecutions.
What will it take to break this cycle? And who will hold Israel to account?
