The major agencies in the world echoed the deaths of Al-Jazeera journalist Sheerin Abu-Akla, this morning (Wednesday) in Jenin.
Brutiers quoted the Palestinian Ministry of Health as accusing Israel of firing.
"Al-Jazeera journalist killed during Israeli raid in West Bank," the Associated Press reported.
The Qatari al-Jazeera network, the veteran journalist's workplace, claimed that "Israeli forces shot down Sheerin Abu-Akla during a work mission in Jenin" and that she was killed by IDF gunfire.
The director of al-Jazeera's offices in Israel, Walid Al-Omri, says that according to the version of the colleagues who accompanied Sheerin and eyewitnesses from the field, IDF snipers opened fire at her upper body deliberately, and did not precede any confrontation.
Al-Jazeera reported the death of the journalist
Nida Ibrahim, a colleague of Abu Akla in al-Jazeera, who serves as the network's correspondent in the Occupied Territories, said: "What we know at the moment is that the Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced her death. "An Israeli on the city, which is north of the occupied West Bank, when she was hit by a bullet in the head," she said.
"As you can imagine, it's a shock to the journalists we worked with," she added.
And this is what the report in the New York Times looked like this morning:
Breaking News: Al Jazeera said one of its journalists was killed in the West Bank city of Jenin during clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian gunmen.
