At approximately 7:08 a.m. (EEST) on 11 May 2022, the Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot dead while she was covering a raid by the Israel Defense Forces at the Jenin refugee camp.[2][4][5] Nearby witnesses and the Qatari media network Al Jazeera, for whom Abu Akleh had been employed for 25 years, alleged that she had been killed after being shot in the head by an Israeli soldier.[6][4][7] Following the shooting, she was transported to the local Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital, where she was pronounced dead by medical personnel.[7][8][9][10][11]
The incident triggered widespread uproar among Palestinians and also brought about a significant amount of international attention; Abu Akleh's status as an American citizen prompted direct involvement by the United States into the post-killing investigation. Israel initially claimed that she had been killed by "indiscriminate" gunfire from Palestinian militants fighting Israeli troops, but later stated that there was a "high possibility" that Israeli gunfire "accidentally" hit Abu Akleh while she was at the camp. At the time of her death, Abu Akleh had been wearing a blue vest with "PRESS" written on it in blue-on-white letters, as is typical for civilian journalists reporting in combat zones.[12]
