Mourners in West Bank carried the body of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh through the streets after she was killed during an Israeli army raid.

Abu Akleh, 51, was shot and killed while covering an Israeli raid in the town of Jenin on Wednesday (May 11).

Another journalist from the Jerusalem-based Al-Quds newspaper was wounded but in a stable condition.

Palestine's Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh tweeted: "Shireen Abu Akleh contributed to forming the memory of an entire generation & telling the Palestinian story to the world.

"Shireen was killed by the Israeli occupation while documenting their horrific crimes against our people. My sincere condolences to her family and colleagues."

The Israeli military claim their forces came under attack and are "investigating the event".

Isreal's Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said: “There is a considerable chance that armed Palestinians, who fired wildly, were the ones who brought about the journalist’s unfortunate death.”
