Gaza’s civil defence agency says a number of Palestinians were killed and others hurt after Israeli forces targeted a residential home in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood.

The home belonged to the Bustan family, it said.

American survivor shot in West Bank by Israeli soldier tells his story

Daniel Santiago is an American activist who was wounded by Israeli gunfire just weeks before Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed while demonstrating against illegal Israeli settlements in Beita village.

He told Al Jazeera as protesters gathered on August 9, Israeli troops opened fire with live ammunition and tear gas.

“We saw the dust coming off the walls as they shot at us. we had to run. After I got shot in the leg, I kept running because I thought it was a tear gas canister. The Palestinians lifted me and carried me to a pick-up truck,” said Santiago, adding that Israeli forces initially blocked his trip to the hospital.

“They [Israeli forces] said for me it was a mistake, they were shooting warning shots, which is false.”

He denounced President Biden’s initial explanation for Eygi’s killing as “ridiculous”, after he described it as “an accident” from a ricochet that bounced up to her head.

Santiago said he hasn’t heard back yet after filing a report with US authorities. “In my view, if they investigated when I was shot, I think Aysenur may still be with us today."
