22-Year-Old Palestinian Journalism Student Shatha al-Sabbagh Fatally Shot by Security Forces Sniper in Jenin
Dec 29, 2024, 08:13 AM
Shatha al-Sabbagh, a 22-year-old journalism student, was fatally shot in the head by a sniper from Palestinian security forces in Jenin, a town in the northern West Bank. The incident occurred late on Saturday while she was with her mother and two small children. Her family stated that there were no militants in the area at the time of the shooting. The Palestinian security forces, however, claimed that al-Sabbagh was killed by 'outlaws,' a term they use for local militants. They condemned the shooting and promised to investigate it. The family accused the Palestinian Authority's security forces of becoming 'repressive tools that practice terrorism against their own people,' rather than protecting them from the Israeli occupation. The death of al-Sabbagh has escalated tensions in Jenin, where the Palestinian Authority has been conducting a rare operation against militants.
