Al Jazeera claims: This is the bullet that killed Shireen Abu Aqleh

The Al Jazeera network on Thursday showed what it claimed was the bullet that killed their reporter Shireen Abu Aqleh, who was shot dead during clashes between IDF soldiers and terrorists in Jenin last month, Ynet reports.

The network showed a 5.5 mm bullet, designed to pierce armor, and claimed it is used in an M4 rifle.

Al Jazeera said the bullet was marked in green, indicating it was IDF issued ammunition. However, Ynet noted that the Palestinian Arab gunmen use the same bullets, many of which were stolen from IDF bases.
