Joint investigation finds Palestinian journalist's killing ‘deliberate’
A joint investigation by a London-based multidisciplinary research group and a Palestinian rights group has uncovered further evidence that prove the killing of Al Jazeera journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, was ‘deliberate’, and shows Israeli reports were ‘false, and misleading’.
The investigation analysed and synchronised all available footage of the incident, some previously unseen, in order to construct a precise timeline of the incident. They then used advanced spatial technologies to definitively demonstrate the origin of the shots fired and the clear intent behind them.
These revelations follow the submission of an official complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) by Shireen’s family to demand justice for her death.
