Al Jazeera’s veteran Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot in the head and killed by Israeli forces while covering an IDF raid in the occupied West Bank town of Jenin on May 11. RestInPower MsReads via CFWIJ
Shireen was wearing a press vest when hit by the bullet. She was shifted to a hospital and declared dead on arrival. The Coalition For Women In Journalism is appalled at the impunity with which Israel continue to operate against Palestinian journalists. We extend our deepest condolences to Shireen’s family and colleagues and demand justice.
Amid local and global outrage, the Israeli military claimed its forces were under attack from heavy gunfire and explosives while operating in Jenin. The ministry maintained that it was “investigating the event and looking into the possibility that the journalists were hit by the Palestinian gunmen”. Samoudi denounced the Israeli military's suggestion that they were shot by militants as a “complete lie.”
