Shireen Abu Akleh: Al Jazeera ‘shocked and saddened’ by killing

Published 2022-05-11
“Shireen, for every Palestinian journalist and for every Arab journalist, is a model we lost today,” Al Jazeera journalist Tamer Mishal said. “The tragic pictures that we saw on social media, shot in the head, show that it came from an Israeli sniper who fired a bullet directly at her.”
“Till the very last second, Shireen Abu Akleh was professional and persevering,” he added.
The last message Abu Akleh sent to Al Jazeera was an email at 6:13am in which she wrote: “Occupation forces storm Jenin and besiege a house in the Jabriyat neighbourhood. On the way there, I will bring you news as soon as the picture becomes clear.”
Al Jazeera Media Network called on the international community hold the Israeli occupation forces accountable for their “intentional targeting and killing” of Abu Akleh.

  • Other than being a fine journalist, Shireen was a beautiful human being, inside and out. She will be sorely missed. RIP Shireen.

    Sadly; another voice exposing occupation is snuffed when impunity has been consistent.

  • @KA-bw3wf
    inspite of great grief this lady conveyed the message and emotions of colleagues very well.
  • Khalas. It gives me peace to know that it was Allah swt who chose for her return to Him. However, the way Shireen was so mercilessly slaughtered will never be forgotten. May Allah swt punish those who murder and kill so senselessly and bring swift justice to those oppressors who silence the oppressed. Ya Allah ya Rabi forgive Shireen for her sins, and grant her Your eternal paradise. Amen
