Israeli forces – and not Palestinian militants – shot dead a high-profile Al Jazeera journalist, the UN’s human rights office has concluded.

Israel says blame cannot yet be determined. The 51-year-old Palestinian-American journalist was one of the region’s most experienced and admired correspondents. Abu Aqla, who was wearing a protective vest with the word “Press” on it as well as a helmet, was shot in a road near where a gun-battle had taken place between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants.
