Shirin Abu Aqla; The daughter of all Palestinians.
On the way to Jenin “These were the last words that Al-Jazeera reporter Shirin Abu Aqla wrote on her Facebook page a few days ago, while she was moving towards the city of Jenin in the north of the West Bank to cover the news of the occupiers’ aggression that has been going on for several months.
On the way to the fetus, Shirin captured a scene from the last drops of Palestinian rain with her camera, as if she knew she would never return from this road.
As usual, he went to the square early Wednesday morning, dressed in a journalist’s uniform to protect himself from any danger that distinguishes his journalistic identity, and traveled to the al-Jabriyat area between the Jenin refugee camp and the village of Burqin in western Jenin to report. Shirin went there to cover the rape of the fetus by the Zionist regime. Occupying forces stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck.
It was not long before the occupiers realized that they had failed in their mission, and began firing. Shirin was shot in the head by a Zionist sniper and fell to the ground, moments before another Al Jazeera reporter, Ali Al-Samoudi, who works as a producer for the Al Jazeera network in Jenin, was shot in the shoulder.
His colleagues and those present at the scene made every effort to save him and transfer him to Ibn Sina Specialized Hospital in the city, but after the failure of efforts to revive Shirin, his death was announced. Sadness and anger pervaded Palestine, especially the press.
