Israeli Military Raids West Bank, Palestinian Journalists Killed
Israeli forces storm Al Jazeera offices in Ramallah
Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was shot and killed
Israeli forces raided the offices of the Al Jazeera media network in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah on Wednesday, killing a Palestinian journalist and injuring another.
Shireen Abu Aqleh, a veteran Al Jazeera reporter, was shot and killed while covering an Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp.
Another Al Jazeera journalist, Ali Samoudi, was shot and injured in the same incident.
The Israeli military said that its forces were operating in Jenin to arrest suspected militants.
The Palestinian Authority condemned the Israeli raid and called for an international investigation.
The United States said it was "deeply concerned" about the killing of Abu Aqleh and called for a "thorough investigation."
The killing of Abu Aqleh has sparked widespread condemnation from journalists and human rights groups.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said that the killing of Abu Aqleh was a "flagrant violation of international law."
Amnesty International called for an independent investigation into the killing of Abu Aqleh.
The killing of Abu Aqleh has also raised concerns about the safety of journalists working in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The CPJ has documented 13 cases of journalists being killed in the occupied Palestinian territories since 2000.
The Israeli military has been accused of using excessive force against Palestinian journalists.
In 2018, the Israeli military shot and killed a Palestinian journalist who was covering a protest in Gaza.
The killing of Abu Aqleh is a reminder of the dangers that journalists face in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Journalists must be able to work safely and without fear of reprisal.
