The death of Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known reporter for Al Jazeera's Arabic language channel, sparked immediate outrage in the region and beyond.
A veteran Palestinian American journalist was fatally shot Wednesday morning while covering Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank for Al Jazeera.
The death of Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known reporter for the broadcast network's Arabic language channel, sparked immediate outrage in the region and beyond.
Al Jazeera, Palestinian officials and another reporter who was wounded in the incident all said she was shot by Israeli security forces. Israel suggested she may have been killed by Palestinian gunmen in clashes during the raid.
Al Jazeera said that Abu Akleh, 51, was wearing a vest identifying her as a member of the press when she was killed. The broadcaster accused Israeli forces of the shooting, saying the journalist was "assassinated in cold blood."

She was there in support of terrorists and got killed.
The “press” vest means nothing.

Where’s the criticism/outrage when innocent Israelis are randomly murdered? When the IDF does it, it’s legitimately accidental.

Sparks outrage?
When isn’t that the case?
The mere existence of Israel sparks outrage for many.

My eyes are dry. A dead islamofascist is a good islamofascist.

One must wonder.
What did she do to provoke being shot?

Israel suggested she may have been killed by Palestinian gunmen in clashes during the raid.
Hence the reason for the raid.

Israel immediately attempted to share all of its relevant video with Al Jazeera and the Palestinian government, and it invited Al Jazeera to participate in the official inquest.
Al Jazeera and the Palestinian government both refused both offers.
