The Soldier Who Assassinated Shireen Abu Akleh is Dead

Palestinian journalist and US citizen Shireen Abu Akleh was martyred on May 11, 2022 while covering zionist crimes in Jenin. As the occupation typically does after deliberately targeting journalists, they denied any involvement, claiming that Palestinian resistance fighters had shot the Al-Jazeera journalist.

Independent investigations in the following months all came to the same conclusion: a zionist sniper had deliberately shot Abu Akleh, despite her being clearly marked as a journalist. In the meantime, occupation forces stormed the journalist’s funeral in Al-Quds, assaulting mourners and causing her coffin to fall. Naturally, the United States turned a blind eye to the murder of its citizen by virtue of the fact that her murderer was a zionist settler.

She was neither the first nor the last journalist assassinated in cold blood for reporting the truth: Over 210 Palestinian journalists have been martyred since the start of the occupation’s aggression on Gaza. The occupation has never pursued action against soldiers who target journalists, and the case of Shireen Abu Akleh was no exception: despite a halfhearted apology over a year later, the occupation refused to name the soldier responsible.

A new investigation sought to uncover the identity of this murderer. According to the documentary’s producers:

“Earlier this year, we did what the US failed to do and found Shireen’s killer. It turned out that the soldier who shot Shireen in Jenin was himself killed last year in the same West Bank city. The soldier, Alon Scagio, had been quietly transferred to a different unit after the ‘israeli’ investigation into Shireen’s death.” The operation in which the soldier was killed was recorded in detail on RNN here.

This is the fate of every foreign tyrant who has invaded the land of Palestine, delivered by the resistance, and paid for by the blood of the martyrs. It is worth noting that war criminal Scagio was not targeted for his brutal murder of Shireen: when confronting the criminal zionist entity, one can be sure that they are confronting a monster who is paying for their crimes.
