New documentary uncovers "Israeli" soldier who killed Shireen Abu Akleh

A new investigative documentary has cast fresh light on the killing of Palestinian-American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, exposing the identity of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) soldier responsible for her death and uncovering what officials describe as a cover-up by the Biden administration.

The film, titled Who Killed Shireen?, is the result of months of investigation by independent media outlet Zeteo. At 40 minutes long, the documentary presents previously unreleased findings about the fatal shooting of Abu Akleh in the West Bank city of Jenin in 2022 — an incident that drew international outrage and calls for accountability.

In a major breakthrough, Zeteo’s team identified by name the IOF soldier believed to have fired the fatal shot. This identity had been tightly protected by "Israeli" authorities, who, according to Zeteo's sources, withheld the information even from high-level US officials.

Zeteo's documentary names Alon Skajio as the soldier responsible for the killing of Abu Akleh. The film also confirmed that Skajio was killed by Palestinian resistance fighters in a Jenin operation in 2024.

The film also makes serious allegations against the Biden administration, featuring testimonies from former American officials who claim the White House prioritized diplomatic relations with "Israel" over seeking justice. One former official stated bluntly that the administration had “failed” Abu Akleh.
