Fact Sheet: Israel’s History of Spreading Disinformation [1]

[]

Date: 2023-10

On May 11, 2022, renowned Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot in the neck and killed by an Israeli sniper while reporting on an Israeli army invasion of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, even though she was nowhere near any fighting at the time and was wearing a vest clearly marked “Press.” Then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the Israeli military

blamed

Abu Akleh’s death on Palestinians, distributing unrelated video of Palestinian gunfire during the invasion as supposed proof.

The Israeli military itself later

backtracked

, stating that Abu Akleh may have been killed by one of its soldiers.
