Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the UN Department of Human Rights, is now commenting on the organization's investigation into the 51 - year - old reporter's death on May 11 this year.

"All the information we have gathered is consistent with the fact that the shot that killed Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and injured her colleague Ali Sammoudi came from Israeli security forces and not from indiscriminate shootings by armed Palestinians," Shamdasan said in a statement in Geneva on Friday.

The shooting death of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank has caused protests in several countries.

She reported from an Israeli raid at a refugee camp in Jenin on the occupied West Bank when she was shot.

Witnesses at the scene have stated that she was killed by bullets from the Israeli military.

Both sides have investigated the incident separately.

The journalistic network Bellingcat and the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem have also investigated the incident.
