Veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh has been shot and killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

 

The 51-year-old was covering an Israeli army raid on the Jenin refugee camp when she was shot in the face by a single bullet, despite wearing a press vest.

 

Another Palestinian journalist, Ali al-Samoudi, was wounded in the back but is in stable condition.

 

Al Jazeera, in a statement, said Abu Akleh was “assassinated in cold blood” and called on the international community to hold Israeli forces responsible.

Before Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed has emerged showing relative calm and quiet, contrary to claims by Israeli officials that fighting was taking place in the area.

 

Abu Akleh, 51, was killed by an Israeli soldier on May 11, according to colleagues and witnesses who were present at the scene, while covering a military raid by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.

 

The clip, which was filmed by a Jenin resident and verified by Al Jazeera, shows initial quiet with no sounds of fighting, corroborating witness reports that there were no clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters at the time of the shooting, as the Israelis have suggested.

 

Some people are seen to be talking and laughing in the foreground, with people in the background, including Abu Akleh and some of her colleagues wearing blue press flak jackets, also visible.

And, of course, the Israelis attacked her funeral:

Hours after Palestinian journalist Ghufran Warasneh was shot dead on her first day of work, Israeli forces attacked her funeral and closed the entrance to the refugee camp where she was to be buried.

Israeli forces brutally attacked the funeral of a Palestinian journalist just hours after she was killed on Wednesday morning.

 

Ghufran Warasneh, a 31-year-old journalist from the Al-Arroub refugee camp near the occupied city of Hebron, was shot on her first day of work on Wednesday.

 

She was taken to the nearby Ahli hospital, where she was pronounced dead an hour later. Her funeral procession took place shortly after.

 

Israeli forces immediately prevented the funeral from taking place by refusing to allow mourners to enter the refugee camp.

 

Mourners were also attacked with sound grenades and stun grenades.
