Family Blames Palestinian Security Forces for Killing of West Bank Journalist Shatha al-Sabbagh [1]

['Democracy Now']

Date: 2024-12-30

In the occupied West Bank, 22-year-old Palestinian journalist Shatha al-Sabbagh was fatally shot in the head late Saturday near her home in Jenin. Her family said she was walking with her mother in a well-lit neighborhood and carrying young children when she was shot by a sniper with the Palestinian security forces. There was reportedly no fighting nearby at the time of her death. The Palestinian Authority denied the claim and instead blamed Israeli forces for the killing. Sabbagh had been active in documenting the Palestinian Authority’s crackdown on armed groups fighting the Israeli occupation.
