Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known Palestinian reporter for the broadcaster's Arabic language channel who is also a U.S. citizen, was shot and died soon afterward.
Ali Samoudi, another Palestinian journalist, was hospitalized in stable condition after being shot in the back.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that based on the information they had already gathered,"there is a considerable chance that armed Palestinians, who fired wildly, were the ones who brought about the journalist's unfortunate death." The Palestinian Authority, which administers parts of the occupied West Bank and cooperates with Israel on security matters, condemned what it said was a"shocking crime" committed by Israeli forces.
Shaza Hanaysheh, another Palestinian journalist among the reporters, similar account in an interview with Al Jazeera's Arabic channel, saying there were no clashes or shooting in the immediate area."I reached the tree before Shireen. She fell on the ground," Hanaysheh said."Every time I extended my hand toward Shireen, the soldiers fired at us."
Condolences poured in from across the Arab world, where the veteran journalist was well-known for her coverage of the Palestinians.
