“Journalism is not a crime”, she wrote in an Instagram post, adding, “cameras are not violence.”
“The truth should not equal death,” she added, resharing a post stating, “to kill a journalist is to kill the truth.”
“I have no words, I just have no words anymore – And the thing is. They will try to justify it. They will try to validate this senseless murder,” she stated in another Instagram story.
The 51-year-old reporter was killed on Wednesday, after that she was shot, reportedly below the ear, as she was covering a military raid in the Palestinian Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.
