Israeli soldiers recently made headlines when they were filmed tearing down an image of murdered Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during the closure of the network’s office in the occupied West Bank. Shireen was killed in 2022, and this act has raised questions about why Israeli forces are not allowing her to rest in peace.
The incident, captured on camera, has sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters. Many have expressed shock and disbelief at the insensitivity displayed by the soldiers in removing the image of a slain journalist.

While the reasons behind the soldiers’ actions remain unclear, the incident has reignited discussions about press freedom and the safety of journalists working in conflict zones. It has also underscored the need for respect for the memory of those who have lost their lives in pursuit of truth and justice.
