JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military has announced the long-awaited results of its investigation into the deadly shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. It says there was a “high probability” an Israeli soldier had mistakenly killed her during a raid in the occupied West Bank last May. Monday’s announcement was the closest that Israel has come to accepting responsibility for the shooting. But in a report that seemed to raise as many questions as it sought to answer, the military revealed little new evidence to back its claim that the Palestinian-American journalist had been killed in the crossfire of a battle between Israel troops and Palestinian gunmen. Both Palestinian officials and Abu Akleh’s family accused the army of evading responsibility.
