The Israeli government tried to blame Palestinians for her death but their story was quickly debunked.
— B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم (@btselem) May 11, 2022 ![]() The Israeli army backed off their story after seeding the narrative and said that "at this stage, we cannot determine by whose fire she was harmed and we regret her death."
Al Jazeera condemned the killing as a "blatant murder" and targeted assassination of a clearly marked journalist. From Al Jazeera, "Al Jazeera condemns Israel’s killing of Shireen Abu Akleh": In a blatant murder, violating international laws and norms, the Israeli occupation forces assassinated in cold blood Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Palestine, Shireen Abu Akleh, targeting her with live fire early this morning, Wednesday, May 11, 2022, while conducting her journalistic duty, clearly wearing a press jacket that identifies her a journalist, covering the Israeli occupation forces storming of Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.US ambassador to Israel Thomas R. Nides responded to Abu Akleh's killing in a tweet, writing: "Very sad to learn of the death of American and Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. I encourage a thorough investigation into the circumstances of her death and the injury of at least one other journalist today in Jenin."
