Al Jazeera reporter killed by Israeli army gunfire in West Bank

WEST BANK, 12 May 2022, (TON): Qatar-based news channel said “an Al Jazeera reporter was killed by Israeli army gunfire in the occupied West Bank, but the military said she may have been shot by Palestinians as they clashed with its troops.”

One Palestinian official said “Shireen Abu Akleh had been assassinated by Israeli forces while reporting on a raid in the city of Jenin, which has seen intensified army raids in recent weeks as violence has surged.”

The Palestinian health ministry confirmed Abu Akleh’s death and said a second reporter, Ali Samodi, had been wounded.

In a statement, the military said its troops had shot back after coming under massive fire in Jenin and that “there is a possibility, now being looked into, that reporters were hit possibly by shoots fired by Palestinian gunmen.”

Al Jazeera reported that Abu Akleh was hit by a live bullet after which she was rushed to a hospital where the doctors declared her dead.
