WASHINGTON: Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was likely to have been killed by gunfire from Israeli positions but it was probably unintentional, the US State Department said on Monday .
One of the most recognisable faces reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Abu Akleh's death triggered outrage across the world, particularly after police beat mourners at her funeral in Jerusalem. The report did nothing to calm tensions between the two sides ahead of a visit by US President Joe Biden next week.
Israel has denied that any of its soldiers killed Abu Akleh intentionally and claimed she may have been hit by errant army fire or by a bullet from one of the Palestinian gunmen it says were clashing with its forces at the scene.
