A Palestinian American journalist reporting on an Israeli military raid on a West Bank refugee camp was likely killed by fire from the Israeli military, according to the findings of two different investigations released Tuesday from the Associated Press and CNN.

Through extensive audio and video analysis — although neither outlet had access to video showing the moment of her death — along with eyewitness interviews, the AP and CNN determined that an Israeli convoy was the most probable source of the bullet that killed the journalist.

CNN further suggested that Abu Akleh died in a “targeted attack,” citing other journalists who served as eyewitnesses and said that there had been no active exchange of gunfire with Palestinians, and that the Israeli convoy had fired on a group of journalists who had moved through the area as a group.
