The Israeli army finally admitted that the soldiers’ war bullets had killed a Palestinian journalist.
According to the Pak Sahafat news agency, quoting Haaretz, despite initial denials, the Israeli army finally acknowledged that after investigations, it was concluded that the soldiers’ war bullets had killed him.
According to a report released by the Israeli army, one of the soldiers of the “Dufdivan” secret unit was stationed at a distance of 100 to 150 meters from the place of Abu Aqla’s martyrdom and fired dozens of bullets at the Palestinian journalist during the military operation.
The Zionist army also claimed that despite the denial of the shooting by the soldiers of the Dufdivan unit, it is possible that he accidentally fired a bullet and some of the bullets fired by the soldiers of the Dufdivan unit hit the north of the area where Shirin Abu Aqla was present.
Also, according to the Israeli army, the bullet that hit Shirin was a 5.56 mm caliber shot from an “M16” weapon belonging to the Zionist military.
