Israel-Gaza updates: Houthis claim 'hypersonic' missile attack on Israel

President Joe Biden said he is "outraged and deeply saddened" by the killing of American citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi in the West Bank by Israeli forces.

"The shooting that led to her death is totally unacceptable," the president said in a statement published Wednesday morning.

The Israel Defense Forces published its initial report into the killing on Tuesday, finding it "highly likely" that the dual American-Turkish activist "was hit indirectly and unintentionally by IDF fire which was not aimed at her."

Biden said the U.S. government has "full access" to the preliminary investigation "and expects continued access as the investigation continues, so that we can have confidence in the result."

"There must be full accountability," the president said. "And Israel must do more to ensure that incidents like this never happen again."

Eygi, 26, was with the International Solidarity Movement in the West Bank, working to protect local Palestinian farmers from attacks by Israeli settlers.

Biden said Wednesday that the violence in the West Bank "has been going on for too long."

"Violent extremist Israeli settlers are uprooting Palestinians from their homes," he continued. "Palestinian terrorists are sending car bombs to kill civilians."

"I will continue to support policies that hold all extremists -- Israelis and Palestinians alike -- accountable for stoking violence and serving as obstacles to peace."

Two Israeli soldiers were killed and seven injured were injured in a helicopter crash in southern Gaza on Tuesday night, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The helicopter "was on a mission to evacuate an injured soldier to a hospital for medical treatment," but "crashed while landing in the Rafah area" in the south of the territory, the IDF wrote on X.

"An initial inquiry conducted indicates that the crash was not caused by enemy fire," the force said. "The cause of the crash is still under investigation."

Seven other troops were "injured to varying degrees, the IDF said. They have been hospitalized for treatment.

Israeli Air Force commander, Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, appointed an investigative committee to probe the incident, the IDF added.

The Israel Defense Forces said that the "terrorist" attacker "was neutralized at the scene." The incident occurred at the Givat Asaf junction, close to the Israeli settlement of Beit El.

Magen David Adom -- Israel's emergency service -- said its responders were "treating a male about 20 years old in critical condition."

The MDA said on social media that the victim was hit by a "fuel tanker."
