The Unresolved Case of Shireen Abu Akleh's Death.
The Israel Defense Forces has apologized for the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by a bullet to the back of the head while covering an Israeli military operation in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. This is the first time the IDF has apologized for the killing of the well-known correspondent, after conceding last year that there was a “high possibility” she was shot by an Israeli soldier. The apology comes days after The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) published a report that said it had found no accountability was taken by the Israeli military over its killings of at least 20 journalists over the past two decades.
