The Palestinian health ministry reported that an Al-Jazeera journalist was murdered while reporting on an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin early Wednesday.
Sherin Abu Aqla. Fifty-one. What a loss. Killed not despite being a journalist but because she is a journalist. Her killers will roam free, and privileged faculties at faraway American universities will reprimand their students who speak out against the regime that killed her… pic.twitter.com/LXDIIP6MFN

Israeli forces shot and killed Al Jazeera journalist @ShireenNasri for reporting illegal and brutal Israeli raids in Palestine. Israeli has been targeting journalists outside the West for so long and yet no serious action is taken by the champions of freedom of press and the UN.

According to the Al Jazeera journalists, she was critically injured after she was shot by a live bullet on Wednesday while documenting Israeli operations in the city of Jenin.
During an Arabic-language broadcast, Shireen Abu Akleh, a well-known Palestinian reporter, was shot and killed shortly thereafter, according to the report. Injured but stable, another al-Quds journalist was hurt in the attack on the newspaper’s headquarters in Jerusalem.
She was wearing her press vest. But Zionism doesn’t care if you are a medic or a journalist. As long as you are Palestinian, you are a target.

Israeli artillery, according to the health ministry, struck the journalists. A request for comment from the military was not immediately returned.
Recent weeks have seen a near-daily Israeli incursion on the occupied West Bank, with many of the attacks being carried out by Palestinians from the Jenin area. Israel portrays it as a terrorist stronghold, so the town and its refugee camp have long been renowned.
Israeli forces have just killed Palestinian famous journalist Shireen Abu Akelah @ShireenNasri. This is the truth of Israeli occupation, even journalists are killed because they tell the world its nature. Normalization with this apartheid state is a crime.#شيرين_ابوعاقلة pic.twitter.com/IHmXGrBxk6
