Israeli occupation kills Palestinian Correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh

OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, May.11, (ST)- The Israeli occupation forces have killed the Palestinian Correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh on Wednesday as she was covering the occupation’s fierce attacks on  the Jenin camps in the West Bank.

 

 Abu Akleh, who was in her protective press flack jacket, was martyred after she was targeted by the Israeli occupation forces. The 51 year-old reporter was shot in the head by a live bullet and was  pronounced dead at the Ibin Sina Hospital in Jenin.

 

According to WAFA News Agency,  the producer Ali Al-Samoudi was also  shot by the occupation forces and he is currently in a stable condition.

 

Witnesses said that the death of Abu Akleh was deliberate and the bullet hit her below the ear in an area that was not covered by the helmet Abu Akleh was wearing.  

 

It was premeditated murder that violates international laws and norms, media outlets asserted.

 

Abu Akleh’s killing has left everyone in the Middle East and the media industry in an utter shock, given the remarkable achievements she has made in the journalism world.

 

Born in Jerusalem, the renowned reporter was at the forefront of the coverage of the ongoing crimes committed against Palestinians by the apartheid state.

 

She  was known for her courage in standing up in the most dangerous conditions to carry out her journalistic duties.
