Shireen Abu Aqla: UN chief appalled at Al Jazeera reporter's killing
Un Secretary General António Guterres says he is " appalled" by Wednesday's killing of veteran Palestinian-American Al Jazeera Journalist Shireen Abu Aqla.
He also called for an independent investigation into Her death.
Abu Aqla, 51, died while covering a raid by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank . Her producer was injured.
Al Jazeera said Israeli troops " deliberately" shot Her . Israel's Prime Minister said it was " likely" she was shot by Palestinian gunmen.
The Prime Minister , Naftali Bennett , called for a joint Post Mortem and investigation with the Palestinians, but on Thursday Palestinian Authority Civil Affairs Minister Hussein al-Sheikh said The Request had been refused.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he held the Israeli government fully responsible for what he described as a " crime of execution".
In a statement issued via his spokesperson late on Wednesday, Mr Guterres called on " the relevant authorities to carry out an independent and transparent investigation into this incident and ensure that those responsible are Held Accountable .
" The Secretary general condemns all attacks and killings of journalists and stresses that journalists must never be The Target of violence, " The Statement added.
Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki wrote on Twitter that Americans were " heartbroken to learn of the killing" of Abu Aqla and the injuries to Her producer.
" We send our deepest condolences to Her family, friends, and strongly condemn Her killing, " Ms Psaki added, calling Her a " reporting legend" who will be " mourned by all Who Knew Her ".
Abu Aqla was widely known and widely admired - by viewers and colleagues alike.
Early on Wednesday morning she went to the Jenin refugee camp to report on a raid by Israeli soldiers and security forces, which the Israeli military said was conducted to apprehend " terrorist suspects".
" During The Activity , tens of Palestinian gunmen fired at and hurled explosive devices toward The Soldiers . The Soldiers responded with fire toward The Gunmen and hits were identified, " a military statement said.
The Palestinian health ministry said Abu Aqla was hit in The Head by a live bullet during the raid. She was taken to hospital in a Critical Condition and later pronounced dead.
Another Palestinian Journalist , Al Jazeera producer Ali Samoudi, was shot in the back and was in a stable condition in hospital, the health ministry added.
There was " no Palestinian military resistance" at The Scene of The Shooting .
Infectious smile, authority and quiet confidenceShireen Abu Aqla was a household name across the Arab world - literally.
Across the region and beyond, Her calm commanding presence filled living rooms, courtyards, and camps.
Living in Jerusalem, I remember Her in the scrums of journalists covering a conflict which rarely left the headlines. She was part of Our Tribe but, Her authority and quiet confidence set Her Apart - Her ready smile and infectious laugh drew many to Her .
When A Story mattered, she was There . Now she is not, and, for so many, a big part of every story she faithfully covered will be missing.
New titles are cascading across Social Media - Trailblazer , symbol, martyr.
But she has only one title which she earned throughout Her Life - Journalist .
