Israel’s initial findings on the killing of US citizen Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi do not exonerate Israeli security forces, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says, warning that Washington would consider other measures if it is not satisfied with a full Israeli probe.

Israel has acknowledged that its troops shot 26-year-old Eygi on September 6, as she took part in a protest against settlement expansion in the West Bank, but says it was an unintentional act during a demonstration that turned violent.
