(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - An initial investigation by the Israel Defense Forces shows that journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was about 150 meters (328 feet) away from Israeli military forces when she was killed. The bullet which struck her was shot from an M16 rifle, but such rifles are used by both the IDF and Palestinian cells in the West Bank.

Most of the Israeli fire was directed southwards, while Abu Akleh was positioned to the north of the Israeli forces.
