The army suggested that the Al Jazeera correspondent may have been shot by Palestinians as they clashed with Israeli forces, which "responded with fire, without causing any casualties."

For his part, Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid proposed to the Palestinian Authority a joint pathological investigation into the reporter's death. "Journalists must be protected in conflict zones and we all have a responsibility to get to the truth," Lapid tweeted.
