Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known journalist working for Al-Jazeera, was killed in the West Bank Wednesday under disputed circumstances, prompting an investigation. Palestinian forces blamed Israel while Israel blamed the Palestinians.
The two were wearing flak jackets, often worn by members of the press while in war zones, at the time of the incident.
Palestinian authorities swiftly blamed Israel’s military for fatally shooting Abu Akleh, which they claimed was a deliberate act.Israeli authorities, however, disputed the claim and said Israel's military came under heavy fire and were attacked with explosives when they returned fire. "It appears likely that armed Palestinians — who were indiscriminately firing at the time — were responsible," Bennett said.
