New evidence suggests Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in targeted attack by Israeli forces
Witness testimony and videos obtained by CNN reveal how the veteran Palestinian-American journalist was shot dead in a targeted attack in the West Bank, while she was covering an Israeli raid with a group of other reporters.
Hasnain says:
This is notable as I believe this is the first time in recent memory where a western news outlet has called out Israel for what they have done. No ifs or buts here, well sourced byline and article, and I imagine a bunch of legal cover prepared behind the scenes.
“But an investigation by CNN offers new evidence — including two videos of the scene of the shooting — that there was no active combat, nor any Palestinian militants, near Abu Akleh in the moments leading up to her death. Videos obtained by CNN, corroborated by testimony from eight eyewitnesses, an audio forensic analyst and an explosive weapons expert, suggest that Abu Akleh was shot dead in a targeted attack by Israeli forces.”
