The Palestinians know very well that Israel needs no justification for shedding Palestinian blood. It is rare for a day to pass without martyrs or wounded at the hands of the Israeli military machine. It is possible, with all naivety and innocence, to consider the martyrdom of Palestinian journalist Sherine Abu Aqleh on May 11, and the injury of her colleague, journalist Ali Al-Samoudi, as another incident in the series of continuous slaughter of the Palestinian people. But the victim this time is not an \u201cordinary\u201d victim, nor is her professional history simple! She was a correspondent for the Qatari Al-Jazeera channel from Palestine for the past 25 years, and she covered major events in Palestinian history, such as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the battles of the Jenin camp, the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by fanatical Zionists, and other clashes and skirmishes over the course of a quarter of a century. Thus, the martyr was known on a wide scale, in the Palestinians, the Arabs, and even internationally. So how, simply but professionally, a sniper of the Israeli occupation army fired a fatal bullet at her head while she was wearing a helmet and a bullet-proof vest, and labeled with the word \u201cpress\u201d! This is not an ordinary assassination incident to pass us by without scrutiny and an analytical reading, because there are enough indications that beg us not to leave it without a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet that killed Sherine Abu Aqleh was not an ordinary bullet. It is a bullet of the expensive explosive type and usually destroys the internal organs and kills the victim most of the time. The severe internal damage to the skull of Sherine Abu Aqleh indicates that an explosive bullet was used to kill her. This type of bullet is forbidden to be used even in wars. Therefore, it is possible to reasonably conclude that the Israeli army squad that entered Jenin on that fateful day was an assassination squad equipped and trained to kill, not to detain suspects in the camp. This assassination squad was only 150 meters from the Al Jazeera team when the group was fired upon, which is a very short distance for a sniper trained to hit the target accurately from a distance of more than 1000 meters. This explains, quite simply, the accuracy of the fatal injury to Sherine Abu Aqleh – under the edge of the helmet, but still dead. In addition, the situation was calm in the surroundings, as there was no clash between the Palestinian resistance fighters in the camp and the Israeli assassination squad (the squad was later known as Doubdevan), and there was no threat to the lives of the Israeli soldiers, and none of them was injured, as reported by the Israeli press, quoting Army. So why did the Israeli army sniper target the Al-Jazeera crew with explosive bullets?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not think for one moment that targeting the Al-Jazeera crew was absurd, or that it was the result of an individual decision of a soldier on the ground who decided to unleash his hatred on the Palestinians by killing some of their journalists with expensive bullets and a sniper rifle. In my opinion, there are those who thought of delivering a message of blood on this very day, so they set the target carefully, and decided to kill. What happened to the Al-Jazeera team may have been planned at the highest level of the Israeli government (other governments may have been involved as well), and I bet the prime minister approved the assassination. In Israel, the prime minister must sign off on every assassination. Why did the official Israeli establishment choose some members of the Al-Jazeera team to liquidate, or let’s say, kill its well-known symbol represented by Sherine Abu Aqleh?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Let’s look at the events accompanying this day, perhaps we can find a causal relationship, even a tenuous one, between it and the assassination of Sherine Abu Aqleh. Of course, there are many events on May 11, especially the war in Ukraine and the global economy, which is rapidly sliding into the abyss. But there was an extraordinary event that stopped me, which was the visit of the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad, to the Iranian capital, Tehran. This visit comes after the visit of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi to Doha in February. And according to what the Iranian \u201cIRNA\u201d agency reported, the Emir of Qatar headed a high-level political and economic delegation during this visit to follow up on the political and economic agreements reached between the two countries during the Iranian president\u2019s recent visit to Doha. The State of Qatar is counted on the American axis and has revolved in its orbit since its establishment. There is one of the largest American military bases near its capital, Doha (Al-Udeid base in Al-Sailiya), and therefore Qatar is supposed to be an ally of the camp of Iran\u2019s enemies, not to conclude political and economic agreements! Why this sudden attraction with Iran and long-term planning? What does this rapprochement mean for Iran’s sworn enemies, such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, who form an anti-Iran alliance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was the attack on the Al-Jazeera team a reminder to the Emir of Qatar on the day of his visit to Iran that he had angered the aforementioned trio with this rapprochement with Iran? Or is it a threat to the Emir that he might meet the same fate as Sherine Abu Aqleh? So there is another explosive bullet with Tamim bin Hamad’s name written on it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether this explanation is logical or not, the assassination of Sherine Abu Aqleh is still searching for an explanation because the absurdity of her assassination may be the worst thing that can happen to any Palestinian under Israeli military occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
