Shooting probe
As Israel and the Palestinians wrangle over the investigation into the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, several independent groups have launched their own probes. One open-source research team said its initial findings lent support to Palestinian witnesses who said she was killed by Israeli fire. Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American and a 25-year veteran of the satellite channel, was killed while covering an Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian officials and witnesses, including journalists who were with her, say she was killed by Army fire. The military, after initially saying Palestinian gunmen might have been responsible, later backtracked and now says she may also have been hit by errant Israeli fire.
