Shireen Abu Akleh
شيرين أبو عاقلة
Veteran Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent; Palestinian-American
Shireen Abu Akleh, 51, was shot in the head while covering an Israeli raid in Jenin, wearing a helmet and a vest marked 'PRESS'; investigations by CNN, the AP, The Washington Post and a UN commission concluded Israeli forces fired the fatal shot — CNN found evidence of a targeted attack — while Israel acknowledged a 'high possibility' its fire killed her but said it was accidental.
