..."The statement said the decision not to investigate the events surrounding Abu Akleh's death was made "in accordance with the Judea and Samaria investigative policy, as approved by the Supreme Court, according to which it does require the opening of a criminal investigation into the death of a Palestinian during operational activity with real combat, unless there is real suspicion of a criminal offense," the Post reported.
Abu Akleh's death received widespread international attention, with the IDF and Israeli policy facing criticism.
The Palestinian Authority accused Israel of killing her, but the IDF's interim investigation could not determine whether she was shot by Israeli or Palestinian gunfire, Haaretz reported."
