Officials also released statements calling it &#8220;likely&#8221; that the journalist was killed by a Palestinian militant, not an Israeli soldier.<\/p>\n<p>Later the same day, however, a researcher for the Israeli rights group B&#8217;Tselem, Abdulkarim Sadi, recorded video showing that the Palestinian militant had been in a part of the camp that made it impossible for him to have shot Abu Akleh.<\/p>\n<p>Israel&#8217;s military then released body camera video of its soldiers retreating from that part of the camp and emerging on a street where armored vehicles were waiting to extract them. Geolocation by the B&#8217;Tselem researcher and others showed that the Israeli armored vehicles were parked on the street where Abu Akleh was shot.<\/p>\n<!-- BLOCK(jw-video)[1](%7B%22componentName%22%3A%22JW_VIDEO%22%2C%22entityType%22%3A%22EMBED%22%7D)(%7B%22aspectRatio%22%3A%2216%3A9%22%2C%22caption%22%3Anull%2C%22credit%22%3Anull%2C%22creditText%22%3Anull%2C%22description%22%3Anull%2C%22pull%22%3Anull%2C%22size%22%3A%22medium%22%2C%22sourceId%22%3A%22StZl1RbQ%22%2C%22sourceName%22%3A%22jw%22%7D) --><div class=\"shortcode\" data-shortcode=\"jw-video\" data-aspect-ratio=\"16%3A9\" data-size=\"medium\" data-video-key=\"StZl1RbQ\"><\/div><!-- END-BLOCK(jw-video)[1] -->\n<p>The interim Israeli\u00a0investigation acknowledged that the Israeli vehicles were parked about 200 meters away from Abu Akleh, and said that if she was shot by an Israeli soldier, it must have been because the soldier &#8220;fired several bullets from a special slit in the jeep and through a telescopic site at a terrorist &#8230; and there&#8217;s a possibility that the reporter stood near the terrorist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That version of events was flatly contradicted by several other journalists who were with Abu Akleh at the time and insisted that they were nowhere near any of the Palestinian militants in the camp.<\/p>\n<p>Hagai El-Ad, the executive director of B&#8217;Tselem, told me by phone on Friday that there is no reason to expect the Israeli army to release any more of the video it collected from soldiers after the incident.
