Abu Akleh: Al Jazeera journalist shot dead in West Bank

Israeli forces shot Shireen Abu Akleh in the head while she was on assignment in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

According to the Palestinian health ministry.

She was hit by a live bullet on Wednesday while covering Israeli raids in the city of Jenin and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, according to the ministry and Al Jazeera journalists.

She was declared dead at the hospital, the ministry said.

The circumstances of her death were not clear, but videos of the incident show that Abu Akleh was shot in the head, said Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim.

“What we know for now is that the Palestinian Health Ministry has announced her death. Shireen Abu Akleh, was covering the events unfolding in Jenin, specifically an Israeli raid in the city, which is north of the occupied West Bank, when she was hit by a bullet to the head,” Ibrahim said, speaking from the Palestinian city of Ramallah.

“As you can imagine, this is a shock to the journalists who have been working with her.”

Speaking through tears, Ibrahim said Abu Akleh was a “very well respected journalist” who has been working with Al Jazeera since the beginning of the second Palestinian Intifada in 2000.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Another Palestinian journalist was also shot by a live bullet in the back, the health ministry said. Ali Samoudi, who works for the Jerusalem-based Quds newspaper was reported in stable condition.

Many in Palestine and abroad took to social media to express their shock and grief.

“Israeli occupation forces assassinated our beloved journalist Shireen Abu Akleh while covering their brutality in Jenin this morning. Shireen was most prominent Palestinian journalist and a close friend,” wrote Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Those who knew her described her as brave, kind and a voice of the Palestinians.

“Shireen was a brave, kind and high integrity journalist that I and millions of Palestinians grew up watching,” wrote Fadi Quran, an activist at the campaign group, Avaaz.

“Horrified to hear of Israel’s killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin! Shireen has boldly covered Israel’s aggression in Palestine for over two decades,” wrote Huwaida Arraf, a Palestinian-American activist and lawyer.

“In disbelief,” wrote Salem Barahmeh, a Palestinian activist. “We grew up to her reporting on the second intifada. She was our voice. Rest in power and peace. Another day, another tragedy.”

stray bullet at head?

Vl3ly:
stray bullet at head?

Why not?

Terrorist state of Israel backed by the co sponsor of terrorists, US and UK!

Presstv said she was shot in the head while reporting about Israeli raid on Palestinians.

So basically while the yahudis were carrying out an operation in the west bank purportedly
searching for the attackers that killed 4 isralis, the journalist was there reporting against the act
and they shot her in the head.

Died in active service

Na only Baba God himself go fit settle dis Israel & Palestine wahala wey no de ever finish.

she was shot in the face! Israel and the US are not different from terrorist country like Afghanistan, Syria and Nigeria just that dem dey do their own codedly

Al Jazeera, the media outfit for terrorists. How on earth will she be reporting on such volatile area without using helmet

Aljazeera has always been hostile to Israel, they use all manner of demonizing words when they describe the Israelis and they are very biased in their reportage.
Same thing they did to Gaddafi by supporting NATO to destroy Libya, this is why Al-Jazeera is banned in several Arab countries.

It's unfortunate that this journalist died in this circumstance but journalists have become a problem to the world of late, see how western journalists are pushing Zelensky to continue in a war that is ruining Ukraine instead of pushing for negotiated settlement with Russia.
This has reduced sympathy for journalists caught up in crossfires during crisis

It’s interesting though - World powers rarely speak against Israel’s military and political activities.

The Bible effect - I guess.

RIP to him....

This is propaganda,to label Israel a bad name,well what do I know

More like assassination

May he soul rest in peace... May God forgives her of her sin.

EU and all the other hypocrites condemning Russia over Ukraine will look away now, cos it's not a "blue-eyed" person killed

The World May Never Be At Peace Until We All Love Each Other Amicably



R.I.P Shireen Abu Akleh

Wasn't she wearing a head protector Journalist ought to be well protective and kitted when capturing events like this.
