A wave of terror in the Middle East has killed several Israelis and Palestinians. An anti-terrorist operation by the Israeli army in the northern West Bank has now claimed another victim. A prominent reporter in the Arab world was shot dead. By whom is unclear.
Violent clashes between Israelis and Palestinians continue – and claim more victims. According to Palestinian sources, a journalist was killed in confrontations between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians in the northern West Bank. The reporter from the Qatari TV station Al-Jazeera (Al-Jazeera), who is well-known in the Arab world, died after being shot in the head, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday. Another journalist from the Palestinian newspaper “Al-Quds” was shot during the incident in Jenin.
The Israeli army wrote on Twitter that soldiers had been deployed in Jenin to arrest terrorist suspects. Suspects shot the troops massively and threw explosives. The soldiers fired back and hits were identified. “It is investigating the possibility that journalists were hit, possibly by armed Palestinians,” it said. The incident will be investigated.
The Qatari TV station Al-Jazeera is now accusing the Israeli military of murder. “In violation of international law, the Israeli occupying forces murdered our correspondent in Palestine, Shirin Abu Akle, in cold blood and with live ammunition this morning,” Al-Jazeera said on Wednesday wore a vest on which the inscription “Press” was clearly visible.

Al-Jazeera: “Heinous crime”
According to Israeli sources, the reporter was killed in a fierce firefight between Israeli soldiers and militant Palestinians in Jenin in the northern West Bank. Shirin Abu Akle, a 51-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem, has worked for the Qatari broadcaster for more than 20 years. She was particularly well known in the Arab world for her reporting on the Middle East conflict.
Al-Jazeera condemned her death as “a heinous crime aimed at preventing media coverage”. The broadcaster accused the Israeli government and army of being responsible for the reporter’s death. He called on the international community to hold the Israeli military accountable. The Israeli army said it was investigating the incident. The journalist may have been shot by militant Palestinians. However, al-Jazeera wrote, citing his office chief in Ramallah, Walid Omari, that there had been no shots from the Palestinian side.
Nearly 40 dead in terror wave in Middle East
A wave of terror has killed 17 people in Israel since the end of March, and an Israeli security guard in the West Bank was also shot dead by Palestinians. Israel’s army has increased its operations in the occupied West Bank since the start of the wave of attacks. Especially in the area of the city of Jenin, which is considered a stronghold of militant Palestinians, such military operations repeatedly lead to serious confrontations with residents.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 20 Palestinians have been killed since the end of March. Several Palestinians have been killed in military operations, but also in their own attacks and clashes with the army.
Israel conquered the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. The Palestinians, on the other hand, want the areas for a separate state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as the capital.
