Israel's defence minister says it won't aid any 'external investigation' into Shireen Abu Aqla's death.
Israel will not cooperate with any "external investigation" into the death of journalist Shireen Abu Aqla.
Eyewitness said she was shot by Israeli troops, while an Israeli official said there was a "high probability" she was killed by one of its soldiers. Ms Abu Aqla - one of the most recognisable faces of journalism in the Arab world - was killed on 11 May while covering an Israeli army raid in Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, which had witnessed gun battles between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants. She was wearing a helmet and blue flak jacket marked with the word "press" at the time of her killing.- a finding later backed by the United Nations and multiple investigations by media outlets.
"I want to emphasise the fighting environment that these soldiers were under. They were confined in a protected vehicle with multi-dimensional fire from every direction," the official added.
