The video shows the spot that Abu Akleh was going to be killed.

Here is the scene from the video, showing where the landmarks are on the map.






The video was taken from roof of the building on the right; the tree that she was in front of is on the left in this Mapillary photo:



This sniper did not kill Shireen Abu Akleh. He is only 75 meters away from her, and we know that the gunfire that killed her was about 180 meters away from the intersection near her.

But we can learn a great deal from this video nonetheless.

It proves beyond the witness testimony we have seen so far that there were indeed Palestinian snipers on the roofs of buildings in Jenin.

It proves that at least one of these snipers were much closer to Abu Akleh than the IDF was. Together with the witnesses we have seen pointing out or saying they saw other snipers, this is further proof that there were Palestinian snipers all over the area. CNN and Bellingcat's investigators do not mention this fact, leading them to say that the IDF was the most likely shooter and not even mention the many other gunmen we have evidence for.

It proves that the Palestinian snipers are trigger happy. The IDF is not visible in this video, but it is in the general direction beyond where Shireen Abu Akleh was (215 meters down Street 1.) The gunmen who were nowhere near the IDF shot in that direction anyway. They are "shebab," youth, who want to prove how macho they are with their M-16s so they are firing towards anything that they feel like. Is it really so difficult to imagine that another similarly hotheaded terrorist saw Shireen's helmet poking above the brush from the southeast and fired volleys of bullets towards her immediately, imagining her to be IDF?

Moreover, the contrast between these youths with their beloved and iconic M-16s and a professional army like the IDF could not be starker. It is infinitely more likely that untrained, hotheaded and trigger happy youth would fire at anything that moves than that the IDF would target journalists in the middle of an operation. That simple fact does not even enter into the calculus of the "investigators" because they have a bias against the IDF, assuming that IDF soldiers act worse than the Jenin shebab.

I don't know if Ali Samoudi took this video himself or if he obtained it and uploaded it. He was close enough to have descended the three flights of stairs and go to the intersection in the 8 minutes or so before he himself was shot. Either way, this video indicates that Samoudi - a trusted eyewitness to the media - had either hung around the snipers himself or he is friendly with the videographer who apparently shared a rooftop with a trigger happy militant.

What is clear is that the sniper we hear in this video was not IDF and was shooting in the general direction of where the reporters were to be.

Nah.

That's what you call "taking it to the next level"

Maybe after all the years she got frustrated with Al Jazeera,
that no one was taking the act seriously enough...?

 

[USAF 2023]

Yes ,they do.They are also asking to the bullet to be produced which the Palestinians refuse to relinquish. That will never happen

Time magazine has an Israel problem.

It has managed to publish biased pieces against Israel in each of its last four biweekly print editions. I discussed two of them here and here.



The previous edition, dated June 6/13, included another piece on Shireen Abu Akleh where it emphasizes that Israel has refused to start a criminal investigation on her death. As we have noted, the IDF is performing an operational investigation into her death; a criminal investigation is only to be done if there is evidence of a criminal act on the part of Israelis. By saying that Israel is refusing a criminal investigation, Time is implying that it is trying to cover up a crime - when in fact it is evidence that there has been no crime at all.

Time magazine continues on its anti-Israel jihad, even saying Jews "storm Al Aqsa mosque" without scare quotes

Nonsense.
Israel deliberately targets women and children all the time.
Like was impossible for Israelis artillery to accidentally have targeted the Mediterranean beach when Arab children happened to be playing there.
That was on the far side of Gaza, and not at all where there was any conflict.
They killed half a dozen children deliberately.

And the whole point is that Palestine is NOT supposed to be a war zone.
There are not supposed to be any Israeli troops there at all.
They are ILLEGAL!

Never happened.

See, the Ottomans LOST in WWI.

They and their allies tried to take over the world. They failed. THEN the secular Attaturk took over the remanants.

Never in history has there ever been a country of Palestine.



There has never been a country of Palestine. Stop lying



ROFL

You are insane. Muslim supremacist no doubt.



Awww, you only control 99% of the Middle East and the greedy Jews won't let you have all of it like you want.

Arab Palestine is Jordan.

Fuck off and stop trying to steal the Jews lands.
