Mr. President, Bullet Ricochet killed US- Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, seriously?

 

Mr. President, Israeli expert conclusion communicated to you and vouched for by you, did not jell, so used the net for some searches. Here are some of my thoughts and doubts based on information available online.

a) The shooter was standing at a roof top, at a greater height than the victim standing at ground level in the open space. Hence, the shooter had far better vision than the individuals at ground level and so could clearly see his target or targets.

b) According to available information, Israeli forces use IWI Tavor assault rifle or micro Tavor rifles both tested for urban warfare and also tested for use in Palestine. Its accuracy has been vouched for by Israeli forces themselves. The other option could be MS 95R Sniper Rifle.

The range for Tavor rifles is 500 meters and for sniper rifle it is 1000 meters. Both have sight magnifier and so whether purely by human sight or along with magnifier the soldier should have no problem in having a clear view of his/her targets.

c) With regard to death or injury by Bullet Ricochet the literature search indicates this is rare and when it happens it is often the shooter who is at risk as it often deflects straight back at the shooter, after hitting a metal or soft material.

d) There are videos that look at different angles of risk for ricochet bullet and scope for injury.

e) Experiments conducted indicate whether the bullet hits metal or soft material, the deflection is at slightly above ground level or with some deviation. None of these indicate scope for ricochet bullet to deflect and travel at a height as to hit the victim on the head, and at the time of shooting the victim was standing. This is according to eyewitness, but they did speak of a previous shot hitting a metal and the ricochet bullet hit a man on his leg.

Mr. President it is difficult to understand how the Israel Army’s arrived at the conclusion that ricochet bullet killed the US-Turkish activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, as she stood out in the open.  

Biden says Israeli killing of US-Turkish activist Aysenur appears to be 'accident'
