At approximately 7:08 a.m. (EEST) on 11 May 2022, the Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot dead while she was covering a raid by the Israel Defense Forces at the Jenin refugee camp.[2][4][5] Nearby witnesses and the Qatari media network Al Jazeera, for whom Abu Akleh had been employed for 25 years, alleged that she had been killed after being shot in the head by an Israeli soldier.[6][4][7] Following the shooting, she was transported to the local Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital, where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel.[7][8][9][10][11]
The incident triggered widespread uproar among Palestinians and also brought about a significant amount of international attention; Abu Akleh's status as an American citizen prompted direct involvement by the United States into the post-killing investigation. Israel initially claimed that she had been killed by "indiscriminate" gunfire from Palestinian militants fighting Israeli troops, but later stated that there was a "high possibility" that Israeli gunfire "accidentally" hit Abu Akleh while she was at the camp. At the time of her death, Abu Akleh had been wearing a blue vest with "PRESS" written on it in blue-on-white letters, as is typical for civilian journalists reporting in combat zones.[12]
Killing
At precisely 7:04 am on Wednesday, 11 May 2022, Al Jazeera, the organization in which she was employed, announced the injury of their correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh. She was shot by Israeli defence forces while covering their incursion and raid on Jenin camp.[13] Shortly before the news was officially announced, it was preceded by a sympathetic report.[14]
Al Jazeera confirmed that Shireen was wearing a press vest at the time of the incident, yet she was targeted by the Israeli army. Following the event, the Al Jazeera media network issued a statement stating, "In a tragic act of murder that violates international laws and norms, the Israeli occupation forces have assassinated Shireen." The network condemned the crime, describing it as "atrocious".[15][16] Later, Israeli forces reportedly deliberately targeted the Al Jazeera crew, as they awaited the arrival of the media team in an open area. The forces began firing intensively, despite the fact that the location where the journalists were present had not witnessed any gunfire from Palestinians in that vicinity.[17] Shatha [who?] also accused Israeli forces of preventing the arrival of ambulance vehicles to rescue Abu Akleh.[18] Ali Samoudi, a fellow Al Jazeera journalist who was accompanying Abu Akleh, was shot in the back during the incident but survived.[19] He later alleged that Abu Akleh had been "cold-bloodedly killed" and that the IDF had continued firing while she was on the ground.[20]

On the other hand, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Israeli forces initially claimed that "we don't think we killed" Abu Akleh, blamed "indiscriminate" Palestinian gunfire as being the likely cause of her death, and claimed that responsibility lay with Palestinian militants who opened fire on Israeli soldiers, leading to the soldiers posteriorly returning fire.[5] Nevertheless, multiple eyewitnesses reported that the area was calm before her death and they rejected the Israeli statements regarding her killing. Four days later the same newspaper quoted an Israeli official who admitted that "an Israeli soldier opened fire about 190 meters away from Shireen Abu Akleh, and that he was sitting in a jeep armed with a rifle with a telescopic lens, and he may have been the one who hit her."[21]
Al Jazeera, through Waleed Al-Omary, the director of the channel's office in the Palestinian territories, stated that there was no gunfire from Palestinian militants.[4][22] Al-Omary also confirmed that Abu Akleh was wearing a helmet and was injured in an exposed area below her ear, indicating that ''she was deliberately targeted''.[23] The post-shooting video footage clearly showed that she was indeed wearing a blue press vest clearly marked with the word "Press".[5]
Autopsy
The director of the Institute of Forensic Medicine at An-Najah National University, Ryan Al-Ali, announced the completion of the first stage of the autopsy on Abu Akleh's body.[24] He confirmed there was no evidence indicating that the gunfire was from a distance of less than a meter. He further stated that a deformed projectile was preserved for laboratory examination.[25] Meanwhile, the director of the Forensic Medicine Institute in Nablus affirmed that the bullet that struck Abu Akleh was directly and fatally shot into her head.[26] Hours after Abu Akleh's death, Israeli police forcibly entered her residence in Jerusalem and dispersed the gathering in the vicinity, resorting to physical assault against the demonstrators.[27][28]
Funeral
Abu Akleh's body was transported to the Latin Church in Jenin for funeral prayers before being transferred from the Forensic Medicine Institute in Nablus to the city of Ramallah at 3:30 pm local time.[29] The procession of mourners, along with the journalist's body, arrived at Al Jazeera's office in Ramallah in the West Bank after approximately an hour and a half.[30] It was announced that her funeral ceremony would take place the following day, starting from the Palestinian Presidential Headquarters in Al-Bireh city.[30]
At 10:00 am on Thursday, corresponding to the twelfth of May, an official procession was held to bid farewell and honor Abu Akleh at the Palestinian Presidency in Ramallah, in preparation for her transfer to Jerusalem.[31] but the Israeli authorities obstructed the funeral procession as it was heading toward Jerusalem.[32] The body arrived after about two hours, and an official farewell ceremony took place despite the Israeli police besieging several mourners in front of the St. Joseph's Hospital, Jerusalem.[33]
Israeli forces reportedly prevented placing pictures of Abu Akleh in the Old City of Jerusalem.[34] Tony Abu Akleh – Shireen's brother – confirmed that the Israelis refused to allow any Palestinian flags inside the family home.[35] On Friday, corresponding to the thirteenth of May, a large stand was held with Palestinian flags in front of the French Hospital in Jerusalem, where her body was located, before the start of her funeral to transfer her to her final resting place. The police again surrounded the hospital and closed the roads and entrances leading to it and sent reinforcements in and outside the hospital setting.[36]
Al Jazeera correspondent Givara Budeiri confirmed that the police in Jerusalem stipulated that the Palestinian flags be lowered, and Abu Akleh's body be removed in a mortuary car, but the Palestinians insisted on removing the body on shoulders and foot.[37] The funeral procession started at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon from the St. Joseph's Hospital, Jerusalem towards the Roman Catholic Church in Jerusalem. Video clips were filmed from the scene, reportedly showing Israeli forces trying to prevent the exhumation of the body [clarification needed] and suppressing the funeral procession, as they beat with batons several mourners, including the coffin bearers of Abu Akleh, and almost dropped it.[38] Israeli police entered the crowds to take down Palestinian flags.[39]
Her body was taken out of the hospital for the second time, and this time it was transported by a hearse after the police suppressed the funeral procession, and the latter once again stormed the vehicle carrying the body, removing the Palestinian flag from it, and preventing the Palestinians from participating in her funeral.[citation needed] The body and crowds of mourners arrived at the Catholic Church in Jerusalem at 2:30 pm, and the memorial service began despite the police assaulting, for the fourth time, the participants in the ceremony in the vicinity of the Catholic Church.[40] The police continued to set up their barriers on the road leading to the cemetery, obstructing the arrival of the Palestinians at the time when the body began to be transported from the Roman Catholic Church towards the cemetery of Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and the churches rang their bells coinciding with the funeral.[41] and then the burial took place at about five in the evening in the cemetery of Mount Zion in the city of Jerusalem occupied, where she was buried next to her parents.[42]
Inquiry
Private investigations
Haaretz
The Palestinian forensic medicine continued its investigations and collection of evidence into Abu Akleh's death,[43] while the Israeli newspaper Haaretz quoted a preliminary investigation of the Israeli army that Shireen was 150 meters away from the Duvdevan Unit – an elite unit in the Israeli army.[44] Dozens of bullets were fired, and the newspaper itself confirmed that the bullet that hit Shireen was of 5.56 mm caliber and was fired from an M4 carbine.[1][45] Additionally, it [clarification needed] stated that some bullets from the Israeli Duvdevan Unit soldiers were fired toward the north where Abu Akleh was located.[46] Haaretz once again quoted Israeli politician Nachman Shai as saying, "Israel's credibility in the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh is not high." The newspaper affirmed that, with her death, "Shireen has become a symbol of the brutality of the Israeli occupation and the violation of press freedom".[47] They elaborated that "the Israeli army and police do not enjoy the confidence of the Palestinians and the world in terms of protecting Palestinian journalists" and that "Israel itself did not provide any evidence that its soldiers did not shoot Shireen Abu Akleh."[48]
Haaretz quoted an Israeli official on 15 May admitting that an elite Israeli soldier in a jeep, armed with a rifle with a telescopic sight, may have been the person who killed Abu Akleh. On the authority of the same official, he said that "the soldier accused of assassinating Shireen said during his interrogation that he did not see her and did not know that he had shot her."[49][21]
The Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal published a lengthy investigation in which it relied on the opinions of an unnamed Israeli official who stated that it cannot be ruled out that the bullet that killed Abu Akleh was fired from the Israeli side.[50] They also reaffirmed to her the results of the initial investigation, some of which had been published by Haaretz, and said that it would be difficult to determine who was responsible for the killing of the Palestinian journalist without obtaining the fatal bullet.[51]
CNN
CNN also published its report, quoting eyewitnesses who confirmed to it that the Israeli soldiers shot the journalists, including Abu Akleh, and that there were no Palestinian gunmen at the scene of the killing.[52] The Washington Post quoted an Israeli official as saying that the army is investigating 3 shootings by its soldiers.[53][54] As for the Hebrew Walla website,[clarification needed] the Israeli army confirmed, at this stage, that its forces had mistakenly targeted Abu Akleh.[51] On the other hand, the commander of the Israeli Central Command admitted that the Israeli soldiers fired indiscriminately in several places, but he denied knowing the exact cause of Abu Akleh's injury, although he did not rule out any possible cause, as he put it.[55]
CNN published an independent report based on the evidence it collected and said that this evidence confirmed that there were no gunmen or armed confrontations near Abu Akleh during the moments before her killing.[56] The same investigation also confirmed that Shireen was targeted by the Israeli forces, and concluded that analyzing the traces of bullets in the tree in which she took shelter indicates that she was deliberately targeted.[57] The investigation of the American network showed that the shooter was between 177 and 197 meters away from the place where Shireen Abu Akleh fell.[58]
The New York Times
The New York Times editorial department criticized [when?] the passage of three weeks since Abu Akleh's death without the initiation of external and official investigations, stressing that the world knows little about who was responsible for the killing of Abu Akleh.[59] Then, it demanded again the necessity of conducting an independent investigation with American, Israeli, and Palestinian participation to establish the facts of the killing of Shireen.[60] Stressing that it is best for the Palestinian Authority, Israel and the United States to agree on an independent investigator to determine who killed Shireen.[61]
On 20 June 2022, the New York Times published the results of a lengthy investigation into the circumstances of Abu Akleh's killing.[62] Where the investigation concluded that the bullet that killed Shireen was fired from the location where the Israeli military convoy was located, and the investigation also confirmed that the bullet was most likely fired by a soldier from the elite forces.[63] In its investigation, the New York Times also confirmed that the evidence it collected confirms that there were no Palestinian gunmen near the place where Shireen Abu Akleh was killed and that the same collected evidence proves that the Israeli army fired 16 bullets from the position of its forces at the site where Shireen and some journalists were present, which contradicts the Israeli narrative.[64]
Government investigations
United Nations
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also published the results of its investigation, which showed that Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by a bullet fired from the direction of the Israeli forces.[65] The United Nations office urged Israel to conduct a criminal investigation into her death, although Israel had previously flatly refused to do so.[66] The Israeli army responded to the UN commission's report as biased.[67] It renewed their demand for the Palestinians to hand over the bullet that killed Abu Akleh and confirmed that their preliminary investigation determined that the shooting of the Palestinian journalist was not intentional, but it does not confirm that she was killed by an occupation soldier.[68] Amnesty International responded by calling for an independent and impartial international investigation into the killing of Abu Akleh as a war crime.[69]
Israel
Refusal of criminal investigation
On 19 May, Haaretz announced, quoting official sources in the Israeli army, that the latter refused to open a criminal investigation into the circumstances of the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh.[70] The same source also confirmed that "there are no criminal suspicions in Shireen’s death, and we do not want the investigation to lead to disputes within the army and society."[71] The Israeli army confirmed, in an official response, what was reported by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz, where it published a statement stating that "there is no way at the present time to open a criminal investigation into the circumstances of the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh."[72]
On 2 July, the Palestinian Public Prosecutor announced the refusal of the Palestinian Public Prosecution to hand over the bullet that killed Shireen Abu Akleh to the Israeli side.[73] But Israel agreed to the US side doing a forensic examination of the bullet.[74] About 24 hours later, the Israeli army announced its intention, in the presence of an American, to examine that bullet, adding in its statement: "If it turns out that we killed Shireen, we will bear the responsibility and we will regret it."[75]
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid stated in a press conference that "there was no intention to kill journalist Shireen Abu Akleh," stressing at the same time that "Israel expresses regret over her death."[76] On the other hand, Shireen's family called on the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to take immediate measures to achieve justice.[77] Later, the Palestinian Public Prosecutor confirmed that the projectile had been handed over to the US security coordinator for 24 hours to examine and return it as it is, but he denied that the American forensic analysis had any impact on the case file and the extensive investigations led by the Palestinian Public Prosecution, stressing that there is a "clear bias" in the American report. For the Israeli side, there are facts presented as incomplete.[78]
The official investigation of Israeli
On 5 September 2022 – about 4 months after the death of Abu Akleh – the Israeli army announced that "the military prosecutors did not find any violation that requires opening a criminal investigation into the killing of Abu Akleh"[79] or the soldier who may have shot her "accidentally" and killed her.[80] Al Jazeera Network responded to the results of the Israeli investigation with a statement in which it stated that "the Israeli tacit and hesitant confession is intended to evade criminal responsibility for the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh."[81] Shireen's family also published a statement in response to the Israeli army's statement, which it said was "an attempt to obscure the truth and evade responsibility," stressing that "Israel refused to assume its responsibility, and this confirms that war criminals cannot investigate their crimes."[82] Adding that they will continue to pressure for a comprehensive and independent US investigation.[83]
Palestinian Authority
First Public Prosecution of Palestinian
In its preliminary investigation, the Palestinian Public Prosecution confirmed that the only source of fire at the moment Shireen was injured was from the Israeli forces, and that the direct cause of her death was brain damage from a high-speed projectile.[84] It also confirmed "the continuation of the investigation procedures into the heinous crime committed by the occupation forces."[85]
Official Palestinian investigation
The Palestinian Public Prosecutor announced the results of the official investigation on 26 May, confirming that the IDF fired at the journalists, including Shireen, without any prior warning. The investigation revealed that the bullet that killed the Palestinian journalist contained an armor-piercing iron part that lacerated Shireen's brain, and she died promptly.[86] The Palestinian Public Prosecutor added, in the context of the findings of the official Palestinian investigation, that the bullet bore features and characteristics indicating that it was fired from a sniper weapon and that the source of the fire was south of Shireen Abu Akleh's whereabouts, i.e. the place where the Israeli forces were stationed.[87] The investigation concluded that the targeting of Abu Akleh and the journalists near her was deliberate and that the Israeli forces continued to shoot at everyone who tried to help Abu Akleh. Accordingly, the facts, according to the Public Prosecutor, provide the elements of the crime of the premeditated murder of Abu Akleh and the attempted murder of Ali al-Samoudi.[88]
The Palestinian Public Prosecutor confirmed the prosecution's decision not to show the image of the bullet that killed Abu Akleh to prevent the Israeli from manipulating and changing its story, according to the statement, adding that the investigation into the killing was purely Palestinian without any external participation, except for the American side, which was briefed on aspects of the investigations of the Palestinian Public Prosecution. But he did not interfere in its procedures.[89] The Palestinian Attorney General ruled out the Israeli version that spoke of Palestinian shootings because, according to him, the facts disprove.[90] Immediately after the results of the official investigation were issued, Al Jazeera Network decided to refer the file on Abu Akleh's killing to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.[91] Where the network formed an international legal alliance that included its legal team and other international experts to prepare a complete file for submission to the court's prosecutor, and the legal file of the International Criminal Court, according to Al Jazeera, will include the Israeli bombing that targeted the network's office in Gaza and entirely demolished in May 2021.[92]
Western media coverage
The New York Times @nytimesEnglish: Correction: An earlier tweet misstated Al Jazeera's comments about the death of Shireen Abu Akleh. The network said she was killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Jenin; it did not say she was killed during clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian gunmen.
11 May 2022[93]
After the Al Jazeera network announced the killing of its journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by IDF, The New York Times published an article on its official website and a tweet on its official Twitter account. They also shared posts on their social media accounts regarding the article, which carried the title...''AI Jazeera said one of its journalists was killed in the West Bank city of Jenin during clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian gunmen''.[94] The article sparked controversy, and the American newspaper soon modified some of the paragraphs of the article as well as the title. It also deleted the tweet, issuing a correction.[95]
The Financial Times published a brief article on Shireen's point of issue ''Veteran Al Jazeera journalist shot dead in West Bank''.[96][97][98] The British BBC titled, in an article, ''Violence breaks out at funeral of reporter Shireen Abu Akleh in East Jerusalem''.[99][100]
Forbes newspaper published an article that was part of its title, "hit in the head by a bullet" as it contented itself with basing the title on anonymously and did not indicate the party behind the injury or the reason. Following criticism of this, Forbes amended the headline of the article to "Al Jazeera Journalist Shot and Killed While Covering Israeli Raid in West Bank."[101][102] Reuters also published an article in which it described the assaulting Shireen's coffin bearers as "Clashing".[103] They would later amend the article and publish an apology on its official Twitter account, where it stated this time that "Israeli police beat mourners at funeral of slain Palestinian journalist", based on video clips from the scene.[104]
Ramifications
The IDF continued their incursions, as on Friday morning they stormed the outskirts of Jenin camp, the place where Shireen was assassinated, and armed clashes broke out between the townspeople and the soldiers.[105] Security forces fired shells at the house of the Al-Dubai family in the camp, resulting in the injury of 3 Palestinians.[106] Violence escalated as Israeli forces continued to attack the townspeople, especially when they targeted an ambulance belonging to Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital.[107] The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 13 injuries had arrived at hospitals in Jenin, including two critical injuries.[108] While the Hebrew newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, announced that a soldier from the Israeli Al-Yamam unit was seriously injured, and the Hebrew Channel 11 confirmed the news of the officer's death during clashes with Palestinians in Jenin, when the IDF stormed the city.[109] Later, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the news of the death of Daoud Al-Zubaidi from the Jenin camp, killed as a result of bullet wounds he sustained two days prior.[110] Daoud's family accused Israeli forces of deliberately killing him, especially that he is the brother of Zakaria, a leader in the Fatah movement, and one of the prisoners who participated in the operation known as the Gilboa Prison break.[111] On the morning of Wednesday, corresponding to the eighteenth of May, armed clashes erupted between Palestinians and the Israeli Defense Forces in the Jenin camp, when Israeli military patrols stormed the camp and surrounded and stormed a number of houses.[112] It also arrested 17 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club, in different areas of the West Bank.[113]
Reactions
Al-Jazeera Media Network
In a statement from Al Jazeera Media Network, it said:
In a tragic murder that violates international laws and norms, the Israeli occupation forces assassinated our correspondent, Shireen Abu Akleh, in cold blood.
The network media condemned "this heinous crime, through which it is intended to prevent the media from carrying out its message," and added:
We hold the Israeli government and the occupation forces responsible for the killing of the late colleague Shireen.[114]
The statement called on the international community to "condemn and hold the Israeli occupation forces accountable for deliberately targeting and killing colleague Shireen Abu Akleh", adding that witnesses claimed Israeli forces fired live bullets at the demonstrators and press crews, shooting Aby Akleh even though she was dressed in a press jacket.[114]
Local
Palestine
The Palestinian Presidency condemned what it called "the crime of execution by the occupation forces of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh" and held the Israeli government responsible for this crime.[115] Meanwhile, Hamas announced that "what happened was a deliberate assassination and a compound crime, and the occupation must be held accountable for it in international forums."[116] The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine mourned the "distinguished Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh after she was exposed to direct bullets from the occupation during its storming of the Jenin camp."[117]
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine also condemned the "assassination of the martyr Shireen Abu Akleh, which aims to kill the truth conveyed by the media about the crimes and racism of the occupation."[114] While the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine said, "The murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh confirms the extent of Israel’s disregard for world public opinion and international values and norms."[118] In a statement, the Palestinian Prime Minister stated that the killing was "a black day for the press in the world and for every free person."[119] The Palestinian Foreign Ministry directed a circular to the Palestinian embassies urging immediate action to expose the crime of execution of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and confirmed that it "will follow up, in coordination with the Journalists Syndicate and human rights organizations, this heinous crime in preparation for its submission to the International Criminal Court."[120] She later added, after the Israeli calls for a joint investigation into the death of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, that these calls are a clear attempt to cover up the crime, and she called on the international community and the competent courts to hold accountable and prosecute the Israeli war criminals as she described them in her statement.[121]
Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said, "There is a high probability that the Palestinian journalist, who was killed after being shot during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank, may have been killed by Palestinian fire."[122] Then the Israeli government quickly retracted its first position when the Israeli Chief of Staff stated in an official statement that "it is not possible to determine the direction of the fire that targeted Shireen Abu Akelah, and we regret her death, and a special team has been appointed to investigate." This was after he and other Israeli officials, including the chief, had initially denied Ministers and the Israeli army standing behind the operation.[123] The Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman stated that "there is not enough information about the party from which Shireen was shot."[124] Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz held a new press conference in which he expressed his regret over the killing of the Al Jazeera journalist and asked the Palestinians to hand over the bullet that caused her death. He also promised to open a thorough investigation, insisting again that the initial indications do not indicate that the Israeli army soldiers opened fire.[125]
The Israel Defense Force has highly involved itself in destroying memorials to Abu Akleh. On 26 October 2023, a memorial erected at the site of her killing was bulldozed and desecrated by Israeli soldiers.[126][127][128] On 22 September 2024, Israeli forces raided and shut down the Ramallah office of Al Jazeera that Abu Akleh had worked for, and involved soldiers went out of their way to tear down a poster of her.[129]

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor published a report on the day following Shireen's assassination, documenting the Israeli army's targeting of the Palestinian journalist during her fieldwork with a bullet to the head despite her wearing a shield with the press insignia on it. The helmet she was wearing, and at the end of the report, the Monitor called for an independent international investigation into the case, stressing that the Israeli army continued to shoot anyone who tried to approach or rescue her for several minutes.[166]
Human Rights Watch published a lengthy statement in which it emphasized that "Israel's promises of investigation are empty, and human rights groups have long documented how their investigations are closer to image-polishing protocols."[167] The Israeli human rights center, B'Tselem, investigated the killing of the Palestinian journalist, which showed, according to the organization, a contradiction between the Israeli army's version of what happened.[168] The United Nations Human Rights Council stated that it was "appalled by the killing of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh while she was covering an Israeli military operation in Jenin", and urged an independent and transparent investigation into her killing, and stressed that the issue of impunity must end, according to the United Nations. "Attacking journalists is an attack on freedom of expression, and defending the press is a defense of democracy.".[169]
The BDS movement has drawn attention to the killing of Abu Akleh, advising the governments of the United States, the UK, and the European Union to stop regretting her death and start condemning and punishing the killers.[170]
