Israeli army: ‘High’ chance soldier killed reporter

Associated Press, Jerusalem

Transcribed from the clipping

“JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said Monday there is a ‘high possibility’ that Shireen Abu Akleh was ‘accidentally hit’ by Israeli army fire… It said it would not open a criminal investigation… B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, said: ‘It was no mistake. It’s policy.’”

Context added by this archive

Two wire services on one day, one finding. The Associated Press version is the one that carries the Israeli rights group calling the finding a policy rather than an error.
