VETERAN AL JAZEERA JOURNALIST SHIREEN ABU AQLEH SHOT DEAD

Veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was shot dead Wednesday as she covered an Israeli army raid on Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.  The Qatar-based TV channel said Israeli forces shot Abu Aqleh, 51, deliberately while Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said it was that Palestinian gunfire killed her. Abu Aqleh, a Palestinian Christian who also held United States citizenship, was a prominent figure in the channel’s Arabic news service.

Another Al Jazeera journalist, producer Ali al-Samudi, was wounded in the incident, the broadcaster added. The Israeli army confirmed it had conducted an operation in Jenin refugee camp early Wednesday but firmly denied it had deliberately targeted a reporter.
