Al-Jazeera investigative program "What is Hidden is Greater", which was broadcast on Friday, revealed that a senior Israeli official in the office of former occupation army minister Benny Gantz admitted to US officials that the bullet that killed colleague Shireen Abu Aqleh was fired by an Israeli soldier.

A source who was briefed on this confession told the program that the Israeli official said that killing Shirin was a mistake, but insisted that Israel would not announce or admit it officially.

In the same context, "What is Hidden is Greater" obtained documents from Israeli investigations into the killing of journalists in the Palestinian territories, revealing the extent of Israeli manipulation in investigations and evading responsibility and punishment.

On the other hand, Chris Cobb Smith, the British private investigator in the case of journalist James Miller - in his interview with the episode (19/5/2023) of the program "What is Hidden is Greater" - confirmed that the shot that hit Sherine was "deliberate and not random."

The British investigator spoke of a complete failure to investigate and admit responsibility on the part of the Israeli army and the Israeli authorities. Smith doubted that the person who shot Sherine would be held accountable.

For its part, the Palestinian Media Forum said that what was revealed by the investigation of what was hidden is greater than shocking evidence and documents, confirming the existence of complicity and cover-up in the murders of Palestinian journalists.

In a statement, the Forum called on the relevant international and human rights institutions to carry out their duties in defending journalists in Palestine and holding the Israeli occupation accountable for its crimes.

In turn, Ali Al-Amoudi, head of the media department of Hamas, said that what was revealed by the Al-Jazeera investigation confirms the Israeli plan to terrorize journalists in order to cover up its crimes and terrorism.
