The USSC found no reason to believe that this was intentional but rather the result of tragic circumstances during an IDF-led military operation against factions of Palestinian Islamic Jihad on May 11, 2022, in Jenin, which followed a series of terrorist attacks in Israel. By summarising both investigations, the USSC concluded that gunfire from IDF positions was likely responsible for the death of Shireen Abu Akleh.

In addition to the forensic and ballistic analysis, the USSC was granted full access to both Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and Palestinian Authority (PA) investigations over the last several weeks. Ballistic experts determined the bullet was badly damaged, which prevented a clear conclusion. The US State Department said on Monday that it could not reach a definitive conclusion about who was responsible for killing the Palestinian-American journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, in a firefight between the Israel Defence Forces and Palestinian terrorists in Jenin last May.Īfter an extremely detailed forensic analysis, independent, third-party examiners, as part of a process overseen by the US Security Coordinator (USSC), could not reach a definitive conclusion regarding the origin of the bullet that killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
