Criminal intent
From the analysis of the scene of the crime and the nature and site of the fatal shot, it is concluded that the crime was committed intentionally:
The site of injury in the victim’s body is between the protective jacket and the helmet, just below the ear, a sensitive position vulnerable only to an experienced sniper,
Israeli forces continued to shoot at anyone who tried to rescue her. Ambulance personnel reported the presence of signs of shooting on the tree next to where the victim was killed, at chest/head height.
Analysis of the images received from the crime scene, the respective locations of the victim, the Israeli forces and the Palestinian resistance fighters, the trajectory of the bullet as revealed by the Autopsy Report and the crime scene, and the Autopsy Report itself, reveals that:
Journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh was exposed to a single bullet that penetrated the head and the bullet returned to the head after exiting because it hit the inner layer of the helmet.
The shooting was not random, but rather focused and precise, and this is confirmed by the convergence of holes in the tree trunk that was next to the body of the victim, Shireen Abu Aqleh.
The perpetrator of the killing of journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh is without doubt the Israeli army, given the trajectory of the bullet, the respective locations of the victim, the Israeli soldiers, and the Palestinian resistance, as well as the impossibility of the victim being hit by any other party in a space controlled by the Israeli occupation.
The report recommends the following:
The bullet extracted from the victim’s body must be examined and compared with the weapons involved in this crime,
The identity of the shooter must be established,
This procedure requires an international commission of inquiry with the power to force the Israeli occupation to hand over the weapons carried by its soldiers on the day of the crime in Jenin.
