A Palestinian-American correspondent for Al Jazeera has been killed while covering a raid by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

    The title should say "brutally murdered by Israeli soldiers ". What a despicable inhumane crime they have committed. I hope they are brought to justice and pay for it. Prayers for the lady just doing her job and her family ❤
  • Thus is murder! She was not a soldier. Whoever did this needs to be prosecuted.
  • @Tidaltwist
    You don’t “accidentally” kill someone by shooting them in the face. It was on PURPOSE.

    I'm amazed BBC Reported this and used the word killed by Israeli army. I thought they would say journalist died during Israel and Palestine clashes. But anyway thanks for the true report this time.
  • @QEEFA
    The fact that the word “died” instead of “killed” being used when the alleged perpetrators are Israeli Military shows double standards. If the alleged perps were Palestinian reporters would definitely use the word “kill” or “killed” liberally. 🤔🤔🤔

    Outrage is an understatement . This brave journalist was doing her job and did not deserve to be killed by an Israeli sniper.

    Don't be scared of IDF(Israel Defense Forces), unless you're a journalist, a paramedic, a medic, a Palestinian, a kid, Palestinian Christians or a Muslim or an Ethiopian Jew.

    "Of course I get scared. In a specific moment you forget that fear. We don't throw ourselves to death. We go and we try to find where we can stand and how to protect the team with me before I think about how I am going to go up on the screen and what I am going to say" Shireen Abu Akleh, asked in 2017 by An-Najah NBC if she was afraid of being shot while reporting
  • Justice for Shereen! An independent inquiry is absolutely necessary
  • What an amazing journalist and human being. She will be greatly missed , but remembered for her bravery as a person who wanted to bring us the truth.
