The Qatar-based news channel said Abu Aqleh, 51, was shot “deliberately” and “in cold blood” by Israeli troops. Another reporter was shot and wounded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Israeli military denied that its forces targeted journalists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It was looking into “the possibility” that they “were hit by Palestinian gunmen” during an exchange of fire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Israel’s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid described Abu Aqleh’s death as “sad” and said it had offered to carry out a joint investigation with the Palestinian Authority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Journalists must be protected in conflict zones and we all have a responsibility to get to the truth,” he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Qatar’s Assistant Foreign Minister Lolwah al-Khater said Abu Aqleh was shot “in the face” while wearing a press flak jacket and helmet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Shereen Abu Aqleh was a prominent figure on Al Jazeera’s Arabic news service who had been covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for 15 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Al Jazeera journalist Nida Ibrahim said she was a “very well respected journalist” and that the news was “a shock to the journalists who have been working with her.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A wave of attacks by Israeli Arabs and Palestinians in Israel in recent weeks has left 17 Israelis and two Ukrainians dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At least 26 Palestinians have been killed – including assailants shot dead while carrying out attacks, or militants and civilians killed during Israeli raids and confrontations in the West Bank.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
