Four years after Shireen Abu Akleh’s death, impunity persists as attacks on journalists surge

Four years after Israeli forces killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank, no one has been held accountable. Human rights groups say the impunity has emboldened further attacks on journalists, with Israel now the deadliest country for the press. The United States opened an investigation but has not announced any charges, despite at least 14 U.S. citizens killed by Israeli forces since 2003.
