IDF admits ‘high possibility’ that stray Israeli bullet killed Abu Akleh
(Worthy News) – An Israeli investigation has concluded that it is impossible to determine who fired the bullet that killed a Palestinian journalist, but “there is a high possibility that Ms. (Shireen) Abu Akleh was accidentally hit by IDF gunfire.”
The Israel Defense Forces released its findings today, saying that Abu Akleh was hit “during an exchange of fire in which life-risking, widespread and indiscriminate shots were fired toward IDF soldiers.”
“Additionally, it is important to emphasize and clarify that throughout the entire incident, IDF gunfire was fired with the intent of neutralizing the terrorists who shot at IDF soldiers, also from the area in which Ms. Shireen Abu Akleh was present,” the army said in a statement released to the media. “Another possibility which remains relevant is that Ms. Abu Akleh was hit by bullets fired by armed Palestinian gunmen.” [ Source: All Israel News (Read More…) ]
