Veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was shot
dead by Israeli troops Wednesday as she covered a raid on Jenin refugee camp in
the occupied West Bank, an AFP photographer reported.
Al Jazeera and the Palestinian health ministry confirmed the
death of Abu Aqleh, 51, a prominent figure in the channel's Arabic news
service.
The Israeli army confirmed that it had conducted an
operation early Wednesday in Jenin refugee camp, a stronghold of Palestinian
armed groups in the northern West Bank.
It added that there was an exchange of fire between suspects
and security forces and that it is investigating whether "journalists were
wounded, possibly by Palestinian gunfire."
Tensions have risen in recent months as Israel has grappled
with a wave of attacks which killed at least 18 people since March 22,
including an Arab-Israeli police officer and two Ukrainians.
The Israeli army has blamed some of the attacks on residents
of Jenin and has stepped up operations in the area in recent weeks.
A total of 30 Palestinians and three Israeli Arabs have died
during the same period, according to an AFP tally, among them perpetrators of
attacks and those killed by Israeli security forces in West Bank operations.
