Israeli security forces clash with funeral procession of killed Al  Jazeera TV journalist and almost topple her CASKET in chaotic scenes in  Jerusalem

13 May 2022


Baton-wielding Israeli police swarmed the  funeral procession of mourners carrying the casket of slain Al Jazeera  reporter Shireen Abu Akleh through Jerusalem

The  shocking images broadcast by Al Jazeera show Israeli police beating  mourners carrying Palestinian flags, the pall bearers getting jostled  and the casket almost falling to the ground. The  incident occurred as the procession attempted to take the coffin of Abu  Akleh - who was a Christian - to a nearby church for the funeral. Al  Jazeera report that the Israeli government had forbidden the procession  from walking the coffin 45 minutes to the church and had insisted that  the body be taken in a hearse. They had  also warned the brother of Abu Akleh to limit the size of the funeral  procession and they forbid Palestinian flags from being displayed or  slogans being chanted. 



Al Jazeera blamed Israeli forces, saying Abu Akleh was shot 'deliberately' and 'in cold blood' by Israeli troops while wearing a press vest and helmet

The  Qatari-owned media outlet even report that Israeli soldiers had been  asking people entering the church if they were Muslim or Christian and  barring entry to the former.  'By our  blood, and our soul, we will avenge your death,' protestors chanted at  Israeli forces obstructing them from accompanying the coffin to the  church.  The scenes come as Israel admits that it  may have been one of its soldiers that shot and killed the veteran  Palestinian reporter during a West Bank raid on Wednesday. Shireen  Abu Akleh, 51, a well known television personality in the Middle East, was fatally shot in the face while she reported on an IDF raid of a  refugee camp in the north West Bank town of Jenin.

Initially both sides had pointed the finger at the other, with Al Jazeera and Qatar - which owns the media outlet - blaming an Israeli sniper for firing at their reporters who were clearly marked as press. In  response, Israel released a short video of a Palestinian gunmen firing  down a corridor, saying militants had been firing 'indiscriminately' and  that Abu Akleh was 'likely' killed by one of them.  The  video was swiftly debunked by online sleuths including B'Tselem... Israeli  sources have since started walking back their assertions, with Benny  Gantz, the Israeli defence minister, conceding that she could have been  shot by fire from 'our side'.  Read more ...
