The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has demanded an investigation into the killing of 21-year-old Palestinian journalism student Shatha Sabbagh, Al Jazeera reports.

“The union demands the formation of an independent investigation committee with the participation of a representative of the union to determine the truth, hold the killers accountable, and prevent them from escaping punishment,” the group said in a statement.

Sabbagh was killed while reporting from the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank during armed clashes between Palestinian Authority forces and fighters from the camp.
