| Controversy | Shireen attracted controversy after she died on 11 May 2022. One of her fellow journalist, Ali al-Samoudi, who was also injured during the coverage of raids alleged that Shireen was shot by Israeli army, and not by the Palestinian fighters. In an interview, he talked about this and said, The first bullet hit me and the second bullet hit Shireen. They killed her in cold blood because they are killers and they specialize in killing only the Palestinian people. There was no Palestinian military resistance at all at the scene. The Israeli army denied his claims and said that the raid was conducted in Jenin refugee camp, but it did not target the journalists. check sources BBC News |

Some Lesser Known Facts About Shireen Abu Aqleh
Shireen Abu Aqleh was a Palestinian-American journalist who worked as a reporter for the Arabic-language channel Al Jazeera for more than twenty-five years before her death. She was shot by the Israel Defense Forces on 11 May 2022.
In 1994, she founded the Voice of Palestine (PBC) radio channel and worked there as a radio correspondent and presenter. In 2004, she worked as a professor at the Birzeit University.
After Shireen died, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported about it. The raid that she was covering was being conducted to capture terror suspects. She was taken to the Ibn Sina Hospital immediately after being shot, but the doctors declared her dead. Reportedly, the IDF soldiers fired at the Palestinian militants in which Shireen was also shot, even when she was wearing a helmet and a bulletproof vest, with “press” written on it. Her fellow reporter said that she was deliberately shot under her ear. Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett, expressed condolences on her death and said,
According to the information we’ve gathered, it appears likely that armed Palestinians — who were indiscriminately firing at the time — were responsible for the unfortunate death of the journalist.”
