Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who is a citizen of both the US and Turkey, a recent graduate of the University of Washington was taking part in a protest against Zionist settlement expansion in the town of Beita near Nablus, West Bank.
The White House, as always, called on Israel to investigate what happened. 🤡

Edit: If it isn't clear, I think the problem here, as in many other areas, is a blanket vulnerability (all public employees' digital records and communications) that will be enforced capriciously, almost always at the convenience of the right-wing who believe public employees shouldn't exist in the first place.
