Palestinian authorities gave a fragment of the bullet that killed journalist Shireen Abu Akleh to US officials for a ballistics test

The bullet that killed a Palestinian-American journalist was given to a US official.

The General Prosecutor for the Palestinian Authority said that they would transfer the bullet to the Americans.

According to senior Israeli officials, the bullet was given to the US security czar and the results are expected on Sunday.

An Israeli military raid in the West Bank city of Jenin resulted in the death of Abu Akleh. She was wearing a helmet and vest when she was shot. Several news outlets concluded that an Israeli bullet was the cause of Abu Akleh's death.

The Palestinian authority concluded that Abu Akleh was killed by an Israeli soldier.

The fragment of the bullet that was taken from Abu Akleh's body was not handed over by the Palestinians. The US requested the bullet for a long time.
