Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh killed in Israeli raid WWW.ALJAZEERA.COM Shireen Abu Akleh, 51, was covering an Israeli army raid on the Jenin refugee camp when she was shot in the face. Quote 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.

Littleronin Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I'm sure that this was a complete accident that they didn't mean to let get out into the public view. Next time they will be more discrete and make sure to eliminate all witnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 The video, verified by Al Jazeera, corroborates witness accounts, adds further proof that Israeli forces shot Abu Akleh. New video shows no fighting before Shireen Abu Akleh’s killing WWW.ALJAZEERA.COM The video, verified by Al Jazeera, corroborates witness accounts, adds further proof that Israeli forces shot Abu Akleh. Quote 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.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 And, of course, the Israelis attacked her funeral: Israeli forces brutally assault mourners at Palestinian journalist Ghufran Warasneh funeral ENGLISH.ALARABY.CO.UK 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. Quote 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
