Israel admits sniper may have killed journalist after video debunked 

Israel has admitted that it may have been one of its soldiers that shot and killed a veteran Palestinian reporter during a West Bank raid on Wednesday.

Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh, 51, a well known television personality in the Middle East, was fatally shot in the face while she reported on an IDF raid of a refugee camp in the north West Bank town of Jenin.

Initially both sides had pointed the finger at the other, with Al Jazeera and Qatar - which owns the media outlet - blaming an sniper for firing at their reporters who were clearly marked as press.
