Abbas said that the Israeli occupation authorities were responsible for her killing and that they would not be able to hide the truth.
One of the first and most well-known field correspondents covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was Abu Akleh. The Palestinian-American reporter was killed and another journalist was injured while covering an Israeli raid in the West Bank town of Jenin. In response to a wave of deadly Palestinian attacks, Israeli forces have stepped up military operations in the West Bank. A reporter for al-Quds was shot by Israeli security forces and was wearing a blue flak jacket. The journalists were hit by Palestinian gunfire. An initial autopsy carried out by the Institute of Pathology at An Najah University found that Abu Akleh was shot at a range of more than one meter, but did not offer any conclusions about who fired the bullet.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, at least 18 journalists have been killed in Israel and the Palestinian Territories since 1992.
