Israeli forces have shot and killed Shireen Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian American journalist working for Al Jazeera, as she covered an Israeli army raid on the Jenin refugee camp.
Content Warning: The following story contains graphic footage.
A spokesperson for Israel’s army told a military radio station that Abu Akleh was likely killed by Palestinian snipers, though he offered no evidence. Al Jazeera’s Jerusalem bureau chief said Shireen Abu Akleh was targeted by “direct shot” from an Israeli sniper. A second Palestinian journalist,reporter Ali al-Samudi, was hospitalized in stable condition after he was shot in the back. Speaking from a hospital in Jenin, al-Samudi said he was among four journalists pinned down by Israeli snipers.
My understanding is that she was on assignment in Jenin, like you mentioned. I just watched an extended video of the incident, wherein Shireen was wearing a vest that was clearly marked “press,” and she was wearing a helmet. I saw that the shot came through the back of her neck and out of her face. And she didn’t stand a chance. She didn’t have time to take cover. And I believe that only an experienced shooter could have made a shot like that.
