There was no fighting in that area.

Except for the Islamic gunfire.

Occasionally, just occasionally, try to keep up.

Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh shot dead while covering Israeli operation in West Bank

Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was fatally shot while covering an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday.

The Israel Defense Forces said its security forces had been operating in the area “to arrest suspects in terrorist activities,” and both Palestinian suspects and Israeli forces were firing at the time.

“As part of the activity in the Jenin refugee camp, suspects fired heavily at the force and threw explosives. The force responded by firing. Hits were detected,” the IDF said. “The possibility that journalists were hit, possibly by Palestinian gunfire, is being investigated. The event is being examined.”

[ Just a reminder that Muslims are using the Journalist's death against Israel, as she was not a Muslim ]

From Naharnet:

Saudi police arrested a Yemeni man this week after he advertised on social media his pilgrimage to Mecca, where he paid tribute to the memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

The pilgrim, who was not identified by name, had posted footage earlier this week that showed him holding a banner honoring the late queen from inside the courtyard of Mecca's Grand Mosque.

The clip quickly spread online, sparking outrage among devout Muslims and leading to the man's arrest on Monday for "violating the regulations and instructions" of the holy site. Security forces referred him to the public prosecutor to face charges.

"Umrah for the soul of Queen Elizabeth II, may Allah grant her peace in heaven and accept her among the righteous," the banner read in English and Arabic.

It turns out that at least some Muslim authorities say it is against Islamic law to pray for the soul of non-Muslims.

Palestinian site Raya asked the question last week as to whether Muslims can pray for mercy for the soul of Queen Elizabeth. It quotes an Islamic fatwa website saying that the clerics ruled "that mercy on the dead of infidels is not permissible, whether they are from The Jews and the Christians, or they were from others."

The same question was asked on Palestinian sites after Shireen Abu Akleh was killed, and the consensus was the same - she was a Christian and Muslims should not pray for her soul. There was a backlash, but not on the basis of Islamic law, rather for publicizing this ruling, which threatened to overshadow the public relations bonanza of her death.

A similar question was asked about whether Abu Akleh, and presumably the Queen, are damned to eternal hellfire for their non-Muslim beliefs. The answer, again, seemed to be in the affirmative, although I've seen sites that say otherwise.

Saudi Arabia arrests pilgrim trying to honor Queen Elizabeth - this might be why

The Biden administration does not hold the IDF to be criminally accountable for the shooting death of American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh on May 11, US State Department spokesman Ned Price clarified during a briefing with reporters in Washington.


"We’ve always been very clear that we’re not looking for criminal accountability," Price said on Tuesday.


The Biden admiration has accepted the conclusions of both the IDF investigation and its own examination conducted by the US Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (USSC) that her death, likely at the hands of an IDF soldier, was "not an intentional, targeted killing."

US: we're not holding IDF criminally accountable for Abu Akleh's death

Price said that the US had attempted to walk a fine line between ensuring civilian safety and telling the IDF what to do in military operations.

Of course not. Their owners don't want that.

Of course not. Their owners don't want that.

Criminal accountability would require facts and evidence to assign responsibility.

You have no facts or evidence to do that.

See how that works?

Dozens of members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have nominated slain Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, the EU’s highest honour for human rights defenders.

The group 43 of EU lawmakers said on Friday that “Shireen Abu Akleh was one of the most prominent reporters in the Arab-speaking world… A strong believer in freedom of expression, she chose journalism to be close to the people.”

If the veteran reporter were to be given the prize posthumously, it would be the first time it has ever been awarded to a Palestinian.

Previous laureates include Alexei Navalny, Nelson Mandela and Malala Yousafzai.
