Shireen Abu Akleh
After the shooting, Israel attempted to start a joint investigation into the death with the Palestinian Authority; the offer was rejected.
The defense minister’s comments come in response to the Palestinian Authority’s claim that the Israel Defense Forces deliberately shot Shireen Abu Akleh, who was working for “Al Jazeera” in a combat zone.
“CNN” claims “new evidence suggests” journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed intentionally by Israeli troops.
In a letter to the Secretary of State and FBI director, 57 members of Congress cite “conflicting reports surrounding the death” in Jenin of Shireen Abu Akleh.
Officers were “forced to act” after hundreds of rioters showed up at Jerusalem’s Saint Joseph hospital and attempted to take Akleh’s coffin, against her family’s wishes, according to police.
The Palestinian Authority continues to refuse Israel’s requests to hold a joint investigation into the shooting death of “Al Jazeera” journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
The Palestinian Authority has so far rejected Israeli requests for a joint forensic investigation.
More than half of intelligence alerts regarding terror plots trace back to Jenin • Three separate fire exchanges took place during IDF operation • Palestinian gunmen fired in indiscriminate manner.
Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh was likely hit by “indiscriminate fire” of Palestinian gunmen, says Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
Israeli forces came under “massive fire” during an arrest raid, according to the military; the source of the bullet that killed Shireen Abu Akleh is being investigated.
