Shireen Abu Akleh

Shireen Abu Akleh a été tuée mercredi alors qu'elle couvrait une opération de l'armée israélienne à Jénine, en Cisjordanie occupée.

"Al-Jazeera condamne ce crime odieux, qui a pour objectif d'empêcher les médias de faire leur travail" ajoute la chaîne dans un communiqué*.* Le Premier ministre israélien assure de son côté qu'elle a "probablement" été tuée par des tirs palestiniens. La chaîne Al-Jazira assure que Shireen Abu Akleh a été tuée "de sang froid" par les forces israéliennes, précisant que la journaliste portait une veste qui l'identifiait comme journaliste. Elle a travaillé à "La Voix de la Palestine" et "Radio Monte-Carlo" avant de rejoindre la chaîne al-Jazeera en 1997, où elle s'est fait connaître à travers le Moyen-Orient pour ses reportages sur le conflit israélo-palestinien. Selon la chaîne, Shireen Abu Akleh se rendait régulièrement en Cisjordanie occupée pour réaliser ses sujets.

She was 51, according to the university. "Shireen fell while she was wearing press (gear) and even with that the people who tried to save her were shot at, the targeting was clear against Shireen and against us as journalistic teams." Al-Samudi said later Wednesday that there were no Palestinian gunmen in the area at the time. "The possibility that journalists were hit, possibly by Palestinian gunfire, is being investigated. The prime minister's office released a video showing people running in the Jenin refugee camp, shouting about a soldier being hit. Akleh's producer, Ali Al-Samudi, was also shot and is in a stable condition, the ministry said.

Israeli forces shot Abu Akleh in the head while she was on assignment in Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

“In disbelief,” wrote Salem Barahmeh, a Palestinian activist. Shireen was most prominent Palestinian journalist and a close friend. Shireen was a message throughout all her journalistic life, and even in her martyrdom, she is a message,” Rinawi told Al Jazeera. “Israeli occupation forces assassinated our beloved journalist Shireen Abu Akleh while covering their brutality in Jenin this morning. Israeli occupation forces assassinated our beloved journalist Shireen Abu Akleh while covering their brutality in Jenin this morning. The Israeli military said its soldiers had come under attack with heavy gunfire and explosives while operating in Jenin, and that they fired back. “The killing was deliberate… “What we know for now is that the Palestinian health ministry has announced her death. On the way there – I will bring you news as soon as the picture becomes clear.” It is a crime, it is all clear – intentional and direct targeting. He said that her body was transferred for an autopsy based on an order from the public prosecution. She said the group of journalists had been directly targeted.

Tributes paid to Al Jazeera journalist and authority on Israeli-Palestinian conflict who has been shot in West Bank.

The US ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, said he was “very sad” to learn of Abu Akleh’s death. She is a reference in the Arab world. Everyone in the street would stop and salute her for her courage and determination and unique way of telling the stories of Palestinians. Arabs cannot go to Palestine. Shireen took them there.”

She launched her career with the UN Refugee Agency, the radio service of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation, a satellite channel in Amman and Monte Carlo Radio. In an Arabic-language interview with her four years ago on NBC, she was asked about being a female journalist courageously covering the Palestinian arena while also breaking stereotypes about Arab women. "She was the best person you could find, she's my sister. She transferred to Yarmouk University in Jordan, where she graduated with a degree in print journalism. But at least I managed to bring Palestinians' voices to the world.” “I will never forget the extent of the destruction and the feeling that death was very close.

The event in Edmonton comes less than a week after five out of the six contenders put on a feisty performance during an unofficial debate in Ottawa, where much focus was paid to fighting COVID-19 mandates and the recent convoy protest in the nation's capital. In November of that year, AP cameraman Rashed Rashid was covering a protest near the Gaza frontier when he was shot in the left ankle, apparently by Israeli fire. He was wearing protective gear that clearly identified him as a journalist, and was standing with other journalists some 600 metres (660 yards) from the border when he was hit. Israel said Hamas was using the building as a command center but has provided no evidence. He said the military's suggestion that they were shot by militants was a "complete lie." Relations between Israeli forces and the media, especially Palestinian journalists, are strained. Palestinian journalists who were with Abu Akleh at the time said they made their presence known to Israeli soldiers, and that they did not see militants in the area. Hundreds of Palestinians, including several masked gunmen, marched through Jenin in a funeral procession, carrying Abu Akleh's body draped with a Palestinian flag and a blue press vest. Nearly 3 million Palestinians live in the territory under Israeli military rule. Shaza Hanaysheh, another Palestinian journalist among the reporters, also said there were no clashes or shooting in the immediate area. The Israeli military said its forces came under attack with heavy gunfire and explosives while operating in Jenin, and that they fired back. Because no Israelis were hurt, he said that suggested the gunmen had shot a journalist instead.

We lost yet another revered Palestinian icon to the Israeli occupation.

All who knew her would speak fondly of her amazing spirit, her open heart, and her exemplary courage and professionalism in the line of duty. She was one of the first, who inspired a whole new generation of journalists to tell the story of Palestine, and over the years she always remained one of the most dedicated to the job. I was shy and felt embarrassed, but I still remember how she greeted me, speaking gently to a seven-year-old who wanted to grow up to be a brave journalist like her and my father. One day, I had insisted on joining my father, who was also a journalist, in visiting al-Muqata’a, the headquarters of the late Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat. She had a grandstanding in the local journalistic community. I felt safe in her presence. She spoke from Palestine, and was heard by the entire world. She was a hero to me. For me, she was much, much more than a professional role model. It was a notification from a Telegram channel called “Martyrs of Palestine”. I wasn’t shocked. She was loved and respected by all. Shireen Abu Akleh was an icon in Palestine and the Arab world.

Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav, an Israeli commander, told army radio that the two journalists were “armed with cameras” and standing near Palestinian gunmen. Abu Akleh, 51, was born in Jerusalem. She began working for Al Jazeera in 1997 and regularly reported on camera from across the Palestinian territories. The Israeli military said its forces came under attack with heavy gunfire and explosives while operating in Jenin, and that they fired back. “The soldiers did not stop shooting even after she fell. Every time I extended my hand toward Shireen, the soldiers fired at us.” The Qatar-based Al Jazeera network interrupted its broadcast to announce her death.

In a statement flashed on its channel, Al Jazeera blames Israel and says the Israeli occupation forces "deliberately" targeted and killed Shireen Abu Akleh.

The British Consulate General in Jerusalem said it is "shocked" at the death of Ms Abu Akleh, adding that "media freedom and safety of journalists are essential and must be respected". While the Palestinian health ministry said the reporters were hit by Israeli fire, the Israeli military said it is "investigating" the event and is looking into the possibility the journalists were hit by "the Palestinian gunmen". In a statement flashed on its channel, Al Jazeera blamed Israel and called on the international community to "condemn and hold the Israeli occupation forces accountable for deliberately targeting and killing our colleague, Shireen Abu Akleh". The US ambassador to Israel, Tom Nides, said on Twitter: "I encourage a thorough investigation into the circumstances of her death and the injury of at least one other journalist today in Jenin." In a statement flashed on its channel, Al Jazeera blames Israel and says the Israeli occupation forces "deliberately" targeted and killed Shireen Abu Akleh. Israel's military has stepped back from claims she was hit by "Palestinian gunmen". A journalist has been shot and killed and another injured while covering an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank.

L’armée israélienne a indiqué avoir mené des opérations dans le camp de réfugiés de Jénine, afin « d’appréhender » un combattant. Depuis le 22 mars, Israël a été la cible d’une série d’attaques ayant fait au moins 18 morts. La seconde balle a touché Shireen ». L’Association des reporters de la presse étrangère en Israël et dans les Territoires palestiniens s’est dite « horrifiée et choquée » par la mort de la journaliste, appelant à une enquête « rapide et transparente » à l’instar du Comité pour la protection des journalistes. Al Jazeera a affirmé que Shireen Abu Akleh a été tuée « de sang froid » et de « façon délibérée » par les forces israéliennes, et « condamné ce crime odieux, qui a pour objectif d’empêcher les médias de faire leur travail ». Le chef de bureau de la chaîne qatarie dans les Territoires palestiniens Waleed Omari a accusé Israël de « protéger ses soldats ». Un photographe de l’AFP à Jénine a fait état de tirs de l’armée israélienne et a vu le corps de la reporter qui portait un casque et un gilet pare-balles sur lequel était inscrit le mot « presse ». Ce photographe a indiqué ne pas avoir vu de combattants palestiniens à proximité du lieu où la journaliste a été tuée.

Analysis of footage, images and eyewitness accounts of Al Jazeera reporter's fatal shooting debunk Israeli claim she may have been hit by Palestinian ...

We remained still for around 10 minutes to make sure they knew we were there as journalists. The footage was later posted on YouTube. The Israeli army confirmed that it had conducted an operation in Jenin's refugee camp early on Wednesday and that there was an exchange of fire between its troops and Palestinian fighters. This and the direction of fire of both of the videos of the Palestinian gunmen suggest Israeli soldiers were somewhere to the west of the gunmen. A third video taken by the graveyard shows smoke rising in the area where B’Tselem located the Palestinian gunman, in the video used by the Israelis. Three landmarks - the corner of a building (marked with a purple rectangle in the graphics below), a building with a red roof (marked with a blue circle), and what appears to be a graveyard (marked with a red circle) - help geolocate the footage to an area just north of where the footage in Gunmen Video 1 was geolocated.

Tous deux corroborent la version d’Ali al-Samoudi. Et estiment que l’armée israélienne a délibérément tiré dans leur direction, alors qu’ils étaient clairement identifiés comme journalistes (grâce à leurs gilets pare-balles et casques estampillés «presse»), et avaient signalé leur présence aux soldats. Dans les dernières secondes de la vidéo (dont la version intégrale dure 26 secondes), une voix s’exclame : «Il y en a un qui est touché !» Mais sans préciser si elle s’exprime alors à propos d’un soldat israélien, ou d’un Palestinien. Ce qui contredit certaines traductions selon lesquelles les Palestiniens se seraient félicités d’avoir «touché un soldat». Le journaliste palestinien Ali al-Samoudi, présenté comme le producteur de Shireen Abu Akleh, a lui aussi été touché par les tirs. Lui et Shireen faisaient, selon lui, partie d’un groupe de reporters partis tôt mercredi couvrir l’opération israélienne. Un premier tir les a manqués, puis un deuxième l’a touché lui, et un troisième a tué sa collègue, raconte-t-il. Plus tard dans la matinée, les autorités israéliennes ont précisé leur version, suggérant que la journaliste ait pu être victime d’un tir palestinien. Les soldats ont répliqué. Des personnes ont été atteintes», avance Tsahal. Néanmoins, ces images, où l’on entend des détonations, ne permettent pas d’affirmer que ce sont ces militaires qui ont tiré sur Shireen Abu Akleh. Ajoutant que dans cette zone se trouvaient seulement les forces israéliennes et le groupe de journalistes. Tournées par des journalistes ou des témoins, différentes images montrent, dans un premier temps, le corps inerte de Shireen Abu Akleh, face contre terre. Dans l’après-midi, l’ONG israélienne B’Tselem, qui défend les droits de l’homme dans les territoires occupés, a publié une autre vidéo démontrant, d’après elle, que «les tirs palestiniens relayés par l’armée israélienne ne peuvent pas être ceux qui ont tué la journaliste Shireen Abu Akleh». La séquence a été tournée par un chercheur de B’Tselem, qui détaille la disposition des lieux, en marchant entre l’emplacement des militants palestiniens visibles dans la vidéo et le haut de la rue où a été tuée la journaliste (point 2 sur la carte). Ces images mettent en évidence l’importante distance qui sépare les deux endroits – environ 300 mètres –, et la présence entre eux de multiples murs et bâtiments. Une autre journaliste est abritée juste à côté, derrière un arbre. D’autres vidéos amateurs, rassemblées et géolocalisées par CheckNews, permettent d’éclairer les circonstances dans lesquelles la journaliste palestinienne a été tuée. L’une de ces séquences, diffusée sur le réseau social TikTok à peu près au même moment que la mort de Shireen Abu Akleh, montre des soldats israéliens présents en haut de cette même rue (point 2 sur la carte), celle dont provenaient vraisemblablement les tirs qui ont tué la journaliste.

How to get help: In the US, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. The penalty is doubled in cases of attempted mass suicide. "In difficult times, I overcame fear," Abu Akleh said in the October video. Qatar's Emir Tamim bin Hamad will visit Iran this week in an attempt to revive the stalled talks. She is the voice of our aspiration for freedom." The country is also home to two cities with a large expat presence. At the time of her death, she was learning Hebrew to understand Israeli media narratives better, Al Jazeera said. - Background: Biden would possibly visit Al Makassed Hospital, although plans are yet to be finalized, the Israeli official added. Abu Akleh became the face of that coverage at home and around the region. - Background: Earlier this month, foreign workers forced another food delivery company to scrap plans to cut wages after walking off the job in protest. The Al Jazeera reporter was the only journalist to cover her own arrest by soldiers, Barghouti wrote. But Al Jazeera's biggest pull for audiences was arguably its coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Doing and saying nothing just enables more killings”: Rep. Rashida Tlaib calls for action after killing of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

“The investigation must be immediate and thorough and those responsible must be held accountable. Our news and analysis is available to everyone – which is why we need your support. “Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by a government that receives unconditional funding by our country with zero accountability.” Tlaib also condemned the the killing on Twitter and called on President Biden to take action. The journalists were wearing blue flak jackets and helmets emblazoned with the word “PRESS.” We need serious U.S. [and international] investigations—Israeli ‘investigations’ virtually always result in impunity from accountability for human rights violations and war crimes.”

Earlier today, Israeli forces killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in cold blood. Tragically, it's nothing new for Israel, which has made a ...

That the Nakba was not a single moment in history, but rather constitutes an ongoing process of violence and displacement, is the fact Israeli forces are trying — and failing — to hide. “I chose journalism to be close to the people,” Shireen Abu Akleh previously said. Last week, Israel’s high court green-lit the eviction of one thousand Palestinians from Masafer Yatta, a rural area of the South Hebron Hills home to several small Palestinian villages. Therein lies the goal: stifling the documentation of the ethnic cleansing and systematic oppression in which the Israeli forces are engaged, so that it can proceed with minimal awareness raised and zero accountability faced. In fact, one year ago this week, during Israel’s relentless pummelling of the Gaza Strip, Israeli jets flattened a building containing the offices of news organizations including Associated Press and Al Jazeera. Just last month, a formal complaint was lodged with the International Criminal Court by the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) regarding Israel’s “systematic targeting” of Palestinian journalists.

Shireen Abu Akleh covered occupied Palestine for two decades. She was killed doing her job.

“This underlying daily reality of apartheid and the cold violence of structural repression leads to the hot violence of bloodshed and the killing of Palestinians.” Israel tends to stretch out the investigations as long as possible and in the end fails to hold military leaders to account, according to El-Ad. “Israel treats every incident as an extraordinarily exceptional occurrence, and the investigations always push the responsibility down to the lowest level of soldiers,” he told me. The Israeli foreign ministry shared a video of Palestinian gunmen active in the city Wednesday to back up these claims. Israel has even designated the premier Palestinian rights organization Al-Haq as a terrorist organization, in what experts called retribution for Al-Haq’s documentation of violations on the ground. “Without a serious investigation, we will not reach the truth.” That likely has something to do with the Israeli government not having a good track record of investigating its own crimes. Ali Samoudi, her producer, who was also shot and is currently in the hospital, said Israeli forces shot her. Israeli military spokesperson Ran Kochav said, “They’re armed with cameras, if you’ll permit me to say so,” and in so doing drew a not-subtle comparison between the work of journalism and that of violence. “It fits a pattern, a pattern of unlawful killing, and also a pattern of targeting journalists and human rights defenders.” Israel attributed Abu Akleh’s death to Palestinian gunmen, saying she was caught in the crossfire of clashes. According to the Associated Press, she was brought to the hospital, where she died. For over two decades, journalist Shireen Abu Akleh covered human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian territory.

In November of that year, AP cameraman Rashed Rashid was covering a protest near the Gaza frontier when he was shot in the left ankle, apparently by Israeli fire. It aired a video showing Abu Akleh lying motionless on the side of a road wall as another journalist crouches nearby and a man screams for an ambulance. The findings of its probe into Abu Akleh's death could draw new scrutiny. She was widely recognized in the West Bank and was also a U.S. citizen. One of its key arguments against the probe has been that its military justice system is capable of investigating itself. Israel said Hamas was using the building as a command center but has provided no evidence. The outcome of Israel’s military investigation will be closely watched. Israel has conducted near-daily raids in Jenin in recent weeks following a series of deadly attacks inside Israel carried out by militants from the area. He said any suggestion they were shot by militants was a “complete lie.” “Currently we do not know what was the direct cause of Shireen’s death. He said Israel asked the Palestinian medical team that performed a preliminary autopsy to hand over the fatal bullet for further examination. Palestinians gathered outside the family's house on Wednesday evening, some holding Palestinian flags and posters with the journalist's photo.

Against that backdrop, the Israeli government is trying to be sensitive to the anger of its citizens, even as the leadership struggles politically to survive. It acknowledges that its soldiers opened fire, but it said that only happened after "tens of Palestinian gunmen fired at and hurled explosive devices toward the soldiers." This past weekend, a Palestinian axe attack killed three Israelis. And on Wednesday, Palestinian officials said Israeli troops had killed another Palestinian. (Editor's note: NPR is a member of the organization.) It said the TV correspondent had been "assassinated in cold blood" after she was targeted by the Israeli forces. The posting seemed to imply the gunman's bullets might have struck the journalists. Hours after her death, mourners came to pay their respects as Abu Akleh's body was moved from a hospital to be prepared for burial. The video does not show whether the person firing hit anyone, or where the bullets may have landed. Al Jazeera producer Ali Samoudi was also shot while covering the raid. "We stood together in a collective way as journalists, then we started moving. The Foreign Press Association in Israel and the Palestinian territories says it is "appalled and deeply shocked" by the killing of Abu Akleh. It also said the investigation into her death should be immediate and transparent. Israel's military said it "is investigating the event and looking into the possibility that journalists were hit by the Palestinian gunmen."

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was “appalled” by the killing and called on “the relevant authorities to carry out an independent and transparent investigation” to ensure that those responsible are held accountable, deputy U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement.

La journaliste star a été abattue alors qu'elle couvrait une opération de l'armée israélienne en Cisjordanie. De nombreux pays réclament une enquête.

Mais plus tard, mercredi soir, le ministre israélien de la Défense Benny Gantz a indiqué à la presse étrangère que l’armée « n’était pas certaine de la manière dont elle a été tuée ». L’enquête doit être complètement indépendante », a réagi jeudi Hussein al-Sheikh, un ténor de l’Autorité palestinienne. Dieu merci, le peuple palestinien la soutenait et nous soutient, elle ne sera pas oubliée. »

La mort de la journaliste Shireen Abu Akleh, mercredi, a profondément bouleversé ses collègues de la chaîne de télévision Al-Jazira.

"Elle allait partout pour donner une voix à ceux qui n'en ont pas. Durant la minute de silence observée à l'antenne, des journalistes n'ont pas pu empêcher les larmes de rouler sur leurs joues. Je vous enverrai les détails’", raconte-t-il à l'AFP. Elle a envoyé un courriel disant : ‘Bonjour, il y a une intervention israélienne à Jénine et je m'y rends maintenant. Dans une interview récente avec une agence de presse locale, Shireen Abu Akleh ne cachait pas avoir fréquemment peur lorsqu'elle était sur le terrain. (...) Mais c'était aussi une journaliste très expérimentée, pas du genre à prendre des risques stupides juste histoire d'en prendre."

I call on the relevant authorities to investigate this crime and bring those responsible to justice.” Secretary-General António Guterres was appalled by the killing and echoed the call for the relevant authorities to conduct an independent and transparent investigation, according to a statement issued by his Spokesperson.

Ms. Azouley recalled that UNESCO works to raise awareness about the need to protect journalists, notably through the UN Plan of Action on the Safety of journalists and the Issue of Impunity.

Elles entretiennent une autre version des faits, qui s’oppose aux accusations convergentes des confrères de Shireen Abu Akleh. C’est un pauvre mensonge par omission, à mèche courte, valable pour quelques heures à peine. Le gouvernement aurait dû savoir que les coordonnées GPS des images ne correspondent pas : ces tirs sont filmés à quelque 300 mètres de distance du lieu où Shireen Abu Akleh a été tuée, précise l’organisation de défense des droits humains B’Tselem. Cela suffit au bureau du premier ministre, Naftali Bennett, pour estimer « possible » que cette victime soit la journaliste, l’armée n’ayant déploré ce matin-là aucune perte.

She got in the way. It goes like this: We will never know who shot Abu Akleh in the face. She knew the risks. She was shot in the face. Maybe an armed Israeli soldier, not an “armed” Palestinian – are there any other kind? Damn. That meant powerful people and institutions who normally do not give a damn when Palestinians are murdered had to say something since Abu Akleh was an American. She was admired and respected because she told the truth about the cruelty Palestinians suffer and endure every day. An Al Jazeera producer, who survived, was shot in the back. Late Wednesday, an Israeli general said, well, maybe Abu Akleh was not the victim of Palestinian on Palestinian violence. Abu Akleh’s body lay on the side of a road, next to a wall. In the face. She did it with grace, patience and resilience despite the indignities, horrors and dangers.

Ramallah, Palestinian Territories — Palestinians planned a memorial service Thursday for journalist Shireen Abu Akleh who was killed while covering an Israeli raid in the West Bank, but have rejected U.S.-led calls for a joint investigation into her death. U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price echoed the sentiments of American Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides on Wednesday, condemning Abu Akleh's killing and calling for an "immediate and thorough" investigation into the shooting.
