The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Sunday called on Israel to hand over the gun that allegedly fired the shot which killed Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Aqleh, who was shot dead on May 11 while covering clashes between IDF soldiers and terrorists in Jenin, AFP reports. Israel has asked the PA to provide the bullet extracted from Abu Aqleh’s body so Israel can conduct its investigation into her death, with PA and American representatives present.

"We have refused to hand over the bullet to them, and we even demand that they hand over the weapon that murdered Shireen Abu Aqleh," PA cabinet leader Mohammed Shtayyeh said at a ceremony in Ramallah to mark 40 days since her death. Israel has maintained that it is possible that an IDF soldier accidentally shot Abu Aqleh but it is also possible that she was shot by terrorists who were engaged in a firefight with IDF troops at the time and were firing wildly.
