Veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed while reporting on an Israeli army raid in the Israeli-occupied West Bank for Al Jazeera, the TV network reported on Wednesday. Al Jazeera says an Israeli force killed Abu Akleh; the Israeli military says it believes she was hit by Palestinian gunfire.
Abu Akleh, a 51-year-old U.S. citizen, had been covering a military raid on the Jenin refugee camp "when she was shot in the face by a single bullet, despite wearing a press vest," Al Jazeera said. It said the TV correspondent had been "assassinated in cold blood" after she was targeted by the Israeli forces.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett issued a statement saying, "According to the information we have gathered, it appears likely that armed Palestinians — who were firing indiscriminately at the time — were responsible for the unfortunate death of the journalist."

Sounds like the wrong place at the wrong time scenario, PO1 William "Chip" Nagel..., but it seems to be the world we live in these days... She is a great loss to journalism, but without people like her, we would not have any insight as to what goes on in highly sensitive political forays between waring entities... May she rest in peace...
